New Leeds is a planned village in the Buchan area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, situated 5.1 kilometres (3.2 mi) east of Strichen at the foot of Mormond Hill.

[1] Nowadays New Leeds serves chiefly as a dormitory village for Aberdeen and Fraserburgh.

[3] A more modern landmark is the pair of wind turbines erected in 2008 at Redbog, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the village.

[6] New Leeds was founded in the late 18th century by Alexander Fraser 8th of Strichen (fl.

1764),[7] whose ambition was that the village would grow to rival Leeds in Yorkshire as a place of wool manufacture.
