Bucksburn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bucksburn is an area of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, named after the stream that flows through it. Bucksburn was formerly a market village before being swallowed up by the spread of the city. It is now categorised as a "Neighbourhood" by Aberdeen City Council. Bucksburn is covered by three electoral wards for the Local Authority - "Newhills", "Bankhead/Stoneywood" and "Auchmill". It is in the Aberdeen North Constituency for both the Scottish Parliament and the UK Parliament.

The area is bordered by countryside - in particular Kirkhill Forest and the land surrounding Brimmond Hill.
