The
Society was founded in 1987, by Gordon Ritchie with the intention
of preserving the history and heritage of the town of Stonehaven
and area, and to encourage interest in the history by arranging
meetings, lectures, exhibitions etc. Since then, the Society
has thrived and now has over 390 members (home and abroad) this
represents the largest group of its kind in the NE. Online visits
from members and particularly visitors overseas with a connection
to Stonehaven and the surrounding areas are also significant.
The Society has published several books on aspects of local
history, to order one of these books see the publications section.
The Society also issues a quarterly magazine, "Stanehyve".
Illustrated talks for members are arranged throughout the year
with outings to places of interest. The Heritage Exhibition
is held biannually to display part of the Society's large collection
of photographs of Old Stonehaven.
