Education and Children's Services at Aberdeenshire Council would like to get your views regarding the school catchment (school zone) for the Blackdog area.
The school catchment area for Blackdog is split between Balmedie School within Aberdeenshire Council and Scotstown School within Aberdeen City Council for primary education.
