Countesswells
Countesswells is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland. In Gaelic - Baile Cobhan an t-Eas

Construction 
In 2014, planning permission was granted for 3,000 homes in the area. However, the development was initially delayed after the developers and land owners could not agree on the funding for schools and infrastructure. In April 2016, Stewart Milne Group stated that it expected to start work on the development immediately. By November 2021, 900 homes were either completed or under construction. Facilities 
There is a Sainsbury's  and a primary school  in Countesswells as well as a post-box, one bus-stop with shelter and several temporary bus stops. There are a number of vacant shop units, the NHS having been granted planning permission for one of these. A pharmacy has applied for a licence for one of the units which was rejected by the local NHS board after pharmacies in Cults and Kingswells said it would lose them business  - this is currently awaiting appeal. There are a number of empty commercial units both beside the school and towards where the planned town-centre will eventually be. Cults Burn Park
Cults Burn Park is currently partially constructed and will eventually run through most of the development. Forest Access
There are three wooded areas around Countesswells. To the West is Countesswells Forest, which was heavily damaged in a major winter storm. To the South is Foggieton. To the East is the wooded area at the back of Hazlehead Park. Transportation 
There are two bus routes to/from Countesswells; one via First Aberdeen, the other via Stagecoach using route number 4. In July 2022, service 15 was introduced by First Aberdeen. It runs from Countesswells to Balnagask via Aberdeen city centre. References
