(Redirected from Glass, Huntly)

Glass is a parish about 8 miles west of Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It is now wholly located in Aberdeenshire but before the reorganisation of Scottish county boundaries in 1891[2] it was partly in Banffshire.[3][1] The name Glass may have come from the Gaelic word for "grey,"[3] "meadow" or "stream."[4]

Glass had a population of 412 in 1951 and in 793 in 1801.[5]

It has its own school, Glass Primary School[6][7] and its pupils attend The Gordon Schools, Huntly for their secondary education.[8]
