« on: Thursday 29 June 06 19:52 UTC (UK) »
hello ,can anyone tell me if they know anything about a workhouse in "Auchenblae" in the late 1800's please ?

Although it has no mention of a Poor House at Auchenblae, if you Google - Scottish Poor Houses, you'll come across websites, one of which deals with Kincardineshire.  The Poor House at Stonehaven appears to have  catered for the Kincardineshire parishes.
