Pride of Cromar Award
The Cromar Community Council were delighted to present Peter Craig with a "Pride of Cromar Award, at yesterday's History Group Talk. The Award is in recognition of Peter's outstanding contributions to the community.
Peter has played a pivotal role in preserving and sharing the heritage of Cromar, particularly through his annual production of Echoes of Cromar’s Past and his history walks and talks. This year, he also contributed to an ancestry project at Tarland School.
A long-time supporter of Cromar’s Future Group, Peter has been a passionate advocate for teaching science to children. For several years, he attended Science Fairs across Scotland, showcasing the circuit kits he invented. Peter generously donated his remaining kits and components to The Future and schools across Deeside and Donside, He also trained a number of volunteers to continue his legacy.
As former Chair of the Tarland Development Group, Peter was instrumental in launching many early projects that continue to benefit the community, such as the walking routes. He remains deeply involved in community activities, most recently, the Community Apple Pressing
In addition to his community work, Peter, a geologist, has shared his expertise, through talks on the unique geological features of the Howe. It was only fitting that his award be crafted from slate, symbolizing the lasting impact of his many contributions to the community. Peter is pictured below with his wife Marjory and Lindsay Stewart who painted the Award.
