From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Echt (Gaelic: Eicht) is an Aberdeenshire crossroads village in northeast Scotland with a population of approximately 300 people. Echt has a number of prehistoric remains, including the so called Barmekin of Echt which is on a hill to the northwest. There is also the Cullerlie stone circle near Sunhoney Farm, which may date from the Bronze Age.
Echt contains a church, village shop/post office, pub (The Cowdray Arms) and park which is used for local football matches and the annual Echt Show, a farmers' show.
It is centred around the junction of the B977 Dunecht—Banchory road and the B9119 Kingsford—Ordie road. It is some 12½ miles (20 km) from the city of Aberdeen.
