Echt (Scottish 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 Barmekin of Echt^[1] 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.^[2]

Echt contains a church, village shop/post office, restaurant (Echt Tandoori) and pleasure park with a designated area of children's play equipment and local football matches are held. The annual Echt Show, a farmers' show, is held on the 2nd Saturday in July.

It is centred on the junction of the B977 Dunecht—Banchory road and the B9119 Kingsford—Ordie road. It is some 12+1⁄2 miles (20.1 km) from the city of Aberdeen.

Literary associations

Echt was the birthplace, in 1896, of Chris Guthrie, the fictional heroine of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's trilogy A Scots Quair.^[3] In the 1890s, Jean Baxter, author of the collection of poems in Scots A' Ae 'Oo (1928), spent part of her childhood in the village, while her family kept the Balcarres Arms Hotel.^[4]
