The Sauchieburn Hotel

THE ANCIENT Province of the Mearns provides an excellent gateway to surrounding areas. Local folk speak of the Howe o the Mearns, howe being a Scots word for "hollow". The Howe is that rich stretch of fertile farming land east of Fettercairn and centred around Laurencekirk. This is a place of interesting little villages, well worth closer examination.
