Like most good ideas, Towns Together Forum (TTF) is the result of creative thinking, entrepreneurial spirit and strong, enthusiastic personalities.

During 2000 to 2002, the Aberdeenshire Towns Partnership (ATP) fostered closer relations between the five principal towns – Ellon, Fraserburgh, Inverurie, Peterhead and Stonehaven.

At the annual ATP seminar in Ellon in 2001, business representatives from Inverurie and Peterhead identified common problems and experiences.

The seeds of Towns Together had been sown and the inaugural meeting, involving the five ATP towns in 2002, quickly led to the inclusion of Banff & Macduff, then Turriff, and then, in 2005, Banchory and Huntly and Ellon in 2006.

The towns have successfully worked together at Visit Scotland Expo Exhibitions to promote the area.

The 2007 Expo was held in Edinburgh on 18th and 19th April when Group representatives attended to extole the virtues of the Aberdeenshire towns.

The Forum wish to foster good business relationships between businesses in each of the towns by allowing all Business or Trade Association members to promote their goods and services on this website.

Visitor will be able to search for what they want in the area before trying elsewhere.
