The typical property in AB41
Ellon and the lower Ythan valley, an Aberdeenshire commuter town on the A90 corridor, with substantial new-build supply over the past decade.
Area summary
AB41 covers Ellon and the surrounding parts of the lower Ythan valley, including Methlick, Pitmedden and Newburgh's southern edge. Ellon is the principal town and one of the most substantial Aberdeenshire settlements outside the immediate Aberdeen commuter belt.
Housing stock is dominated by post-1990 estate development on the western and southern edges of the town, with a smaller core of older granite-built town-centre properties. The Tesco and Co-op retail offer and the small-business core along Bridge Street and the Square give the town a meaningful local services profile.
The dominant employer historically was BrewDog's headquarters at Ellon, the craft-brewer's main brewery and visitor site. The local economy is otherwise a mix of agriculture, food processing, energy services and commuter employment in Aberdeen.
Commuter access is via the A90; the AWPR's Goval junction (in adjacent AB21) connects Ellon to the airport, south Aberdeen and the wider road network. Rail access is via Aberdeen station only, there is no Ellon railway.
