Drumlithie is a village in the Howe of the Mearns in southern Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Situated seven miles south of Stonehaven in the parish of Glenbervie, it is affectionately known by locals as "Skite", although the origin of this name remains disputed. Previously a weaving village, Drumlithie has a small steeple at its heart which was rung to signal the start and end of the working day. The story goes that when it was first built in 1770, the locals were so proud of it that they would take it indoors when it rained.

| - Drumlithie is a village in the Howe of the Mearns in southern Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Situated seven miles south of Stonehaven in the parish of Glenbervie, it is affectionately known by locals as "Skite", although the origin of this name remains disputed. Previously a weaving village, Drumlithie has a small steeple at its heart which was rung to signal the start and end of the working day. The story goes that when it was first built in 1770, the locals were so proud of it that they would take it indoors when it rained. Drumlithie is noted for its appearance in the classic Lewis Grassic Gibbon novel Sunset Song, while neighbouring Glenbervie is the final resting place of the great-grandparents of famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. Drumlithie is also twinned with Couture-d'Argenson in France. The village school is called Glenbervie Primary, and is attended by around 70 local children from the village and surrounding area. (en)
