Maud is a village in the Buchan area of the Scottish county of Aberdeenshire, with a population of 780. Located 13 miles west of Peterhead on the South Ugie Water, Maud rose to prosperity after 1863 as a railway junction of the Formartine and Buchan Railway that ran through Maud to Fraserburgh and Peterhead, but has always been the meeting place of six roads.
