Notes: On the Green at Aboyne we noticed that the same architect had just commenced new schools, under the local School Board, and on examining the plans, we found the same style is intended to be carried out - stones of varied colours, high roofs; and here we may mention that Mr Truefitt never seems to have a show front to this buildings. He carries the same work all the way round, and distributes his gables etc. so that his outlines look good from any point of view. [Aberdeen Journal/Builder 19 September 1874 p791-792]
