Tarland is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and is located 5 miles northwest of Aboyne, and 30 miles west of Aberdeen. Population 720. Tarland is home to the Culsh Earth House, an Iron Age below-ground dwelling that otherwise known as a Souterrain. Souterrains were used to store food and the Culsh Earth House probably served as a community cellar. Just south of Tarland is the Tomnaverie stone circle, a 4,000-year-old recumbent stone circle.
