About us...

Tarves is a thriving community less than 20 miles from Aberdeen, and even closer to the regional airport, accessing international and domestic business and tourist flights. The village prosperity is based on the diverse oil and agricultural sectors although it has a wide range of services, including a general store, butcher's shop, health centre, hotel, public house/restaurant and for nature lovers an extensive country park close by. With around 40 clubs and organisations, the village has an active social life ensuring that the two halls and associated meeting rooms are almost continually in use.

It is an ideal base for tourists because of its location and facilities among which are:

Proximity to both the castle, coastal and whisky trails.

Accommodation in the village and countryside.

Heritage centre and conservation area in Tarves.

Good roads access and airport connections.

 

The historic little village and Parish of Tarves lies in the heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside. .

The Parish (Community) boundary contains the village itself and a scatter of small hamlets and country houses. Around 900  people in the village from a total of 1500.

We have created this website as a community to provide information for both local people and visitors alike.

Although in the countryside, Tarves with good transport links, is strategically placed for business and many of the 1600 population commute to work in Aberdeen, the offshore oilfields and in the petroleum industry world-wide. The principal village employer used to be Aberdeen Scotch Meat whose game and meat business had customers throughout Britain and overseas. this had formerly been known as Bain of Tarves in better times.
