Many thanks in particular to Alison Kennedy, Colin Miller, and Colin Shepherd. Additional appreciation goes to Colin for his kind invitation to speak at the mini conference ‘Cultural Landscapes of North-east Scotland’, which helped me to organise my thoughts into a new set of research questions. Finally, Josh Wright read the penultimate draft, which has helped to improve its consistency.16986860engcrofter-colonistssquatterslandscape historyHistorical ArchaeologyAberdeenshirenineteenth centuryHistorical geographyCC ArchaeologyCCBook item10.2307/jj.24613924.16https://www.oxbowbooks.com/9798888571576/cultural-landscapes-of-north-east-scotland/
