More information about Milltimber
Introduction
Milltimber is a small affluent village situated in Scotland's Deeside Valley, in the City of Aberdeen. It is located around seven miles to the west of Aberdeen, on the River Dee.
Until recently, the village was relatively unknown at a national level, but it has recently become quite popular—particularly since the significant investments made in recent years.
Milltimber is considered to be one of the most important areas of Aberdeen's car manufacturing, finance and motorsport industries. In the last decade, there has been significant investment in the area, leading to its newfound popularity.
History
Milltimber has been a part of the local area for centuries, with records dating back to the 13th century when it was noted as a settlement in local records. The village's name is taken from the cloth mills that operated from the area during the 18th and 19th centuries, and the nearby river Dee.
The village was traditionally a farming community, with a small population and a strong sense of community. The area had little in the way of industry—it was the agricultural industry that provided most of the employment to the community.
Car Industry
In the late 19th century, the budding automobile industry saw Milltimber as the perfect place to create their cars. The area was chosen due to its accessibility, proximity to the nearby port and rivers, and its landscape of rolling hills and thick forests.
In the 1940s, car manufacturing giant Vauxhall moved its limited UK production to Milltimber. The operation grew rapidly, and in the 1950s, Milltimber had become an importantUK centre for car manufacturing.
By the 1960s Milltimber had also become an important centre for luxury cars. Brands such as Bentley and Rolls Royce used Milltimber as their base for designing, creating and testing cars. The Jaguar MK II was created here and is now revered as a piece of British automotive history.
Finance Industry
In the early 19th century, Milltimber was slowly becoming known as a financial centre. Small banks were set up in the village and began offering services to the local community.
By the late 19th century, Milltimber had become an important centre for banking and finance. The village began to attract some of the leading financial institutions in the UK, particularly as the financial crisis of 1907 brought about a need for increased regulation and oversight of financial institutions.
Over the next century, Milltimber continued to establish itself as a home for banking, investment and financial industry. It was an attractive choice to banks and large financial institutions, as it offered all the amenities and infrastructure of a bustling city without the associated pressures.
Motorsport
Milltimber is also a centre for motorsport, with a number of different racing venues located in and around the village. The MMI Raceway, located just outside of Milltimber, is a popular stop in the AJR British Touring Car Championships, as well as other local and regional events.
The area also hosted the Scottish National Rally in the late 1990s, a significant event in British motorsport.
The village has also been the backdrop to many Formula 1 films and TV series, including the original Top Gear 'Race to the North challenge' in 1984, and the 2006 BBC Mini Series 'She Races'.
Demographics
The 2011 census provided a population of 5,154 people in the village, with a further 1,341 people in the surrounding area.
The median age was 47 according to the census, and the majority of the population was employed in either the banking and finance industry, the car industry or motorsport.
The predominant religious affiliation was Christianity and the majority of the population identified as British.
Conclusion
Milltimber is a small village in Deeside Valley in Scotland, but it has a significant influence in the UK car industry, finance industry and motorsport.
The area has seen significant investment in recent years, particularly in the car industry and the motor sport, making it one of the most important locations in the UK for these industries.
The community is made up of a diverse population, with a large proportion employed in the industries that make Milltimber so important. With so much investment in the area and a vibrant community, Milltimber looks set to remain an important part of the UK's automotive and financial future.
