Auchleven

Auchleven (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh Leamhan) is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Premnay Primary school is a small co-educational primary school situated in the village of Auchleven on the B992, 6 miles (10 kilometres) south of Insch, and some 10 miles (16 kilometres) west of Inverurie.

The school has served the community for over 120 years on the present site, and the current building was built in 1909.

Lickleyhead Castle is thought to have been built in 1560 by William Leith, quite possibly on the site of an earlier structure.

In 1922 the castle was sold to Don Guillermo de Landa y Escamdon, the Governor of Mexico City, for his daughter Maria Luz who had married into the Arbuthnott-Leslie family.
