Elrick

Elrick (Scottish Gaelic: An Eilreig) is a small village on the A944 road 7+1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) west of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Crruently, Stagecoach Buses operates services 5 & 6A to & from the city via Queens Road.

During the development of Westhill throughout the latter half of the twentieth century the city incorporated the villages of Elrick and Carnie to become a wider part of the town.

There is a debate among locals towards the proper spelling of the name Elrick with the still-signposted Earlick Cottages being right beside the Spar garage.

[3] Throughout the second half of the 19th century Elrick grew to become one of the main villages in the area alongside, Kirkton of Skene, Broadstraik and Carnie.
