Queen Elizabeth Court, Fettercairn

The sheltered housing scheme at Queen Elizabeth Court, Fettercairn was built in 1986 and consists of 22 flats in a two storey block building and 3 cottages suitable for disabled persons. In the main building there is a large residents’ lounge and attached kitchen, a laundry with washing machines and tumble dryers, 2 guest bedrooms and a hobbies room.

All properties have central heating supplied from a communal oil fired boiler. There is also lift access to both floors in the main block and a door entry system at the main entrance. In addition, there is a Scheme Manager call system and fire alarm system throughout the scheme.  A communal satellite TV reception system has been installed.

We provide a Housing Support service 7 days each week at this scheme.   We employ a Manager and a Relief Manager to do so, and they are normally on duty each day from 9.00 am - 5.00 pm, with a one hour flexible break for lunch between 12.00 - 2.00 pm.   When staff are not on duty, support for tenants is provided by RCC/Community Alarm, whose staff can initiate appropriate action to assist.

In the village of Fettercairn there is a Post Office and general store and a branch library. The picturesque central square contains a 17th Century Mercat Cross and the main street is dominated by a magnificent stone built arch erected to commemorate a visit to the village by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1861.

There are limited public transport links from Fettercairn to other local towns, including Laurencekirk where there is a medical practice, and Montrose where there is a range of facilities and services.
