Vice Chairman
Dr Keith Stewart
Keith, a native of Huntly Aberdeenshire, works at Aberdeen University where
he researches into kidney disease and lectures in Immunology.
Having lived in B-listed buildings for most of his life, has given him a strong
interest in the preservation and enhancement of old buildings.
Keiths main role in the Society is to advise and comment
on planning applications that may have an adverse impact
on built heritage. Stonehavens rich built heritage makes
a very important contribution to our environment and
helps define the Sense of Place of our historic town
this unfortunately can all too readily be compromised
through unsympathetic development. (for further information,
see the Built heritage planning matters section of the
Web site).
Gordon J.N. Ritchie was the founder of the
Society in 1987 and has been Honorary Secretary since then.
He has a keen interest in local history and is Editor of several
publications, including Stonehaven of Old, Vols I and II, books
of old photographs of the town and Picturesque Stonehaven,
a reprint of 1899 guide to the town.
He is a Solicitor and Estate Agent in Stonehaven
and also heavily involved in other organizations in the town
including dunnottar church, Stonehaven and District Motor Club
and Stonehaven Business Association. He is Clerk to John Smart,
