It was once known as 'Milton of Strathbogie' although after ridicule from surrounding towns (mainly Keith) for being named after nasal excrement, it changed it's name in 1992 to make it sound more Englishly after drivers going to Aberdeen kept mistaking it for the service station bogs. Citizens of nearby Keith still argue this to be true however.

  • It was once known as 'Milton of Strathbogie' although after ridicule from surrounding towns (mainly Keith) for being named after nasal excrement, it changed it's name in 1992 to make it sound more Englishly after drivers going to Aberdeen kept mistaking it for the service station bogs. Citizens of nearby Keith still argue this to be true however. The town is also known as 'Toll a' Chaic' in gaelic and has recently been granted the official nickname 'The Family Town' by Aberdeenshire Council after the local police records indicated 5673.4 cases of incest from 2002-06 which isn't bad for a town with a population of 4000. It is also worth noting that this makes it smaller and hence not as good as Keith. In reply to the allegations, local MSP Stevie Paterson was quoted as saying: "Before others frown on these activities, people should remember that Huntlyonians have nothing else to do here. The nearest cinema is 50 odd miles away and it's a game that the whole family can play."
