Welcome to the Crathes, Drumoak & Durris Community Council (CDDCC) website where we aim to provide our local community with information on the key issues in our area based on the needs and aspirations of our local residents. We strive to gain a good understanding of these needs and aspirations to enable us to take decisions that will lead to appropriate action in our community.
The Crathes, Drumoak and Durris area is a fantastic rural community and our goal is to enhance community spirit and be part of a community movement in making where we live a better place for all, now and in future years.

Battle's Over - A Nation's TributeWhen the battle’s over is a classic Retreat March composed by Pipe Major William Robb and it quickly became established in the pipers’ repertoire. It remains a very popular tune with pipers and it will be played at 6-00 am throughout the UK and the wider world as part of the Battle’s Over unique tribute on Sunday, 11thNovember 2018.
The Community Council would like to join others in the early morning tribute, but Drumoak-Durris Church would very much like one or even more pipers to lead a procession from Drumoak Church to the War Memorial on the morning of Remembrance Sunday. If you would like further details, please contact the Secretary of the Community Council – James O’Flynn, or theSession Clerk of Drumoak Durris Church – Marion McNeil. Battle’s Over – Ringing out for Peace At the end of WWI the bells rang out across the country to celebrate the coming of peace, and Drumoak-Durris Church will be echoing this ‘ringing of the bells’ to commemorate and to celebrate the 100thanniversary of the end of the First World War. At 7-05pm on Sunday, 11thNovember 2018, the bells of Drumoak Church and Durris Church will be rung. These may not be the melodic bells of the great cathedrals of this country, but they will ring out in memory of those whose names appear on the War Memorials of Drumoak and Durris.
