The
Maud Village Trust was formed from the Community Association
in order to acquire and develop the redundant cattle market,
in the centre of the Village of Maud.
The Trust purchased the redundant cattle mart, from Aberdeen
Northern Marts, with a 95% grant from the Scottish Land Fund.
It is the intention of the Maud Village Trust Management Team
to develop the redundant cattle market, for the benefit of the
Maud and District Community.
The Maud Mart was once the
largest one day fat stock market in the whole of Britain, the
Maud Village Trust purchased the site in 2002 and the above
drawing shows part of the proposed development to the site.
News update October 2008:
The Old Mart Community Resource Centre as it will be
named is nearing completion. A Manager has been employed by
the Trust, Mrs. Victoria Brown and her employment will
commence at the end of October. The staff of the various
groups using the centre will be taking up residence by the
end of November. The gymnasium will be equipped towards the
end of October and it is the Trust’s aim to carry out an
induction programme for those wishing to use the facilities,
as soon as possible after installation of the equipment has
been completed. In is anticipated that an open day will be
arranged for the community to view the Centre before it is
in operation.
At the Community Service Centre next to the
Resource Centre, we are working on getting the café up and
running by the end of December. This café will service both the
Centre users and the community as well. There are still units be
rented out in the Service Centre for more information please

Once all the building has been completed and
