AeAe is a small village in Dumfriesshire with a population is about 200. It lies 7½ miles north of Dumfries, within a 12,500-acre conifer forest, the Forest of Ae. Both the village and the forest take their names from the Water of Ae, a river which flows into the Annan. The name is believed to come from the Old Norse for "river". Ae is not in one of the main dales of Dumfriesshire but stands between Annandale and Nithsdale, between the Water of Ae and the Goukstane Burn. The village was founded in 1947 by the Forestry Commission, and formed the base for experiments in forestry. (Read more) |
