SchoolsPrimary education is provided at Rathen School,[2] whilst secondary pupils travel to Fraserburgh Academy. TransportCortes lies at the northern end of the A952 road at its junction with the A90 road. Regular bus services connect the area to Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Aberdeen, and an on-demand Dial-a-bus service is also available.[3] The nearby Lonmay railway station closed in 1979, and now offers an access point to the Formartine and Buchan Way, the long-distance path that follows the route of the former railway. LandmarksTo the south lies Mormond Hill, on the slopes of which a hill figure known as the White Stag of Mormond, marked with quartz stones, was first laid out by Mr F. W. Cordiner of Cortes to mark his wedding in 1870.[4] HistoryThe name Cortes is said to derive from a Gaelic word meaning circle, in reference to a structure that was described as a Druid temple in the New Statistical Account of Scotland (1845),[5] but is now believed to be the remains of a recumbent stone circle.[6] Another stone circle, of which only three stones remain, is situated on farmland at Cortie Brae.[7] Cortes House is a granite-built Regency mansion, built in 1810.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search/index.php?action=do_search&id=2831&p_name=CORTES&p_type=POPULATED_PLACE&p_parish1=Rathen|title=Cortes: Description|work=Scotland's Places|accessdate=7 January 2010}} {{Banff and Buchan, Aberdeenshire places|state=uncollapsed}}{{Aberdeenshire places|state=collapsed}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rathen.aberdeenshire.sch.uk/|title=Rathen Primary School|work=Rathen School|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/publictransport/index.asp |title=Public transport information |work=Aberdeenshire Council |accessdate=7 January 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211193855/http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/publictransport/index.asp |archivedate=11 February 2010 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.buchanonline.co.uk/visitpeterhead/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=261%3Awhite-horse-and-stag-on-mormond-hill&catid=54%3Ageneral&Itemid=86|title=White Horse and Stag on Mormond Hill|work=Peterhead and Buchan Tourism Initiative|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.electricscotland.com/hiStory/statistical/rathen.htm|title=The New Statistical Account of Scotland (1845), Volume XII, Aberdeen: Parish of Rathen|work=Electric Scotland|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=20703|title=Cortes: Archaeological Notes|work=Scotland's Places|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=21098|title=Cortie Brae|work=Scotland's Places|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scottish-castle-holidays.co.uk/aberdeen-deeside/cortes.htm|title=Cortes House|work=Cottages and Castles|accessdate=7 January 2010}} 1 : Villages in Aberdeenshire |
