« on: Thursday 29 June 06 20:52 BST (UK) »
hello ,can anyone tell me if they know anything about a workhouse in "Auchenblae" in the late 1800's please ?
 apparently it was bought later by a family and converted  into a house,( the people that bought it was a retired farmer,and known as the smith's of  auchenblae)
    thanks

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.
