on 3rd February with members of Formartine Area Committee, TCC, A.C.Planners and the A.C. Built
Heritage Officer. Samples of the proposed Kemnay dry dash finish at the Old School were viewed by all present
along with the existing dry dash at the Old Post Office and the Schoolhouse. Sean Norman (A.C.Heritage
Officer) claimed that the Traditional finish for Tarves was wet lime harl, however when asked to find an
example of this “traditional finish” within the village he said that none could be found. Samples of
butter pointing and key marking were viewed at Duthie Terrace. Those present also viewed the variety of shades
in the pointing at the Melvin hall, which was the result of the Heritage Officer’s choice of mix. The merits
