Clatt (Gaelic cleithe, 'concealed'), is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. [1] The remains of a morthouse are located in the cemetery of the old church. The village is more fully known as Kirktown of Clatt.
It is situated on the Gadie Burn at the foot of the Coreen Hills, 2 miles (3 km) east of Rhynie. [2]
Its schools are Clatt Primary School and The Gordon Schools, Huntly.
Within Clatt stands the former Clatt Parish Church. It was built 1799 incorporating many mediaeval fragments from a previous church and a belfry of 1640; it was repaired in 1828 and 1866. [3] It was declared redundant in 1996 and subsequently closed as a place of worship. Following subsequent mergers in the 2020's, the area now finds itself in the larger West Gordon Parish Church parish. [4]
Clatt Primary School was a primary school in the village of Clatt, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, built in the 19th century. [5] It is around 10 miles from Huntly. It was a small school with one teacher. [6] It is a feeder school for The Gordon Schools, Huntly. Due to a decline in the school attendance, it was mothballed in July 2022. [7] In early 2025, Aberdeenshire Council planned to completely close the school, expanding the catchment area of Rhynie Primary School to include the community of Clatt. A final decision will be made in April 2025. [5]
