The image of the Gordon StoneNJ5716 : The Gordon Stone shown here is certainly of a stone with a plaque claiming this, however, recent research by a local historian points to the likelihood that the real Gordon Stane lies just to the north in Haughton Park (now well signposted at the park gates). A dedication service was held a couple of years ago and there is a new information plaque at the real stone. See www.alfordimages for a photograph of the Gordon Stone and more information.

With COVID-19 restrictions in place, some ice rinks are not up and running for the reason, but others are available and need to be booked ahead of time. The following is a list of outdoor rinks we’ve found in the area that are open during the pandemic. Check city, ski resort and regional district websites for more information on openings and restrictions during COVID-19. Residents were also seen skating near Kin Beach in Vernon and on Kalamalka Lake.
New film to be shot about Alford Valley Railway to help get service back on track 26/01/2021, 11:23 am
It was one of the most treasured routes on the busy north-east rail network in the late 19th and 20th century.
And, although the Alford Valley narrow gauge railway in Aberdeenshire ceased carrying passengers in 1949 – and goods services subsequently came to an end on Hogmanay in 1965 – the line still boasts a mystique, which helps explain why Scottish filmmaker Fergus Cruickshank is creating a new work about this magical little route.
He can remember it from the days when he was growing up in the area and enjoyed watching the trains pass by on their regular journeys.
