Kinneff

Within the hamlet lies Kinneff Old Kirk, which is notable as the site where the Honours of Scotland were hidden by Christian Fletcher after the Siege of Dunnottar Castle in 1651 until the Restoration in 1660.

In August 2024, Kinneff Primary School was mothballed by Aberdeenshire Council due to the very small roll for a number of years.

Children from the Kinneff area now attend either Bervie or Catterline Primary Schools.

Broadcasting from nearby Stonehaven in the town hall, Mearns FM aims to keep Kinneff up to date by publicising local and charity events, as well as playing music.

Staffed completely by volunteers, Mearns FM is run as a not-for-profit organisation, broadcasting under a Community Radio Licence, with a remit to provide local focus news events and programming.
