Sheltered housing

In 1986 Banff & Buchan District Council opened a sheltered housing complex at Walker Court, where retired people could live independently but with a communal area to encourage socializing and the help of a resident warden at hand if required. In later years the complex has become part of Aberdeenshire Council’s mainstream housing, without a warden. By early 2023 it was believed that the Council were planning to sell off the property.
