Buildings
The village has a heritage organisation, the Abernyte Heritage Group, which was formed in 1988. The group was formed by a mixture of longstanding residents and more recent arrivals to Abernyte and was part of a drive to maintain and celebrate the village's distinct local identity.[2] The group undertook an oral history project in 1996, which is now held at the archives at the University of Dundee.[2]
The history of Abernyte in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is documented in Abernyte: The Quiet Revolution, which was written by Dr Mary Young and the Abernyte Heritage Group and published in 2008.[3][4][5]
The Scottish Antique and Arts Centre lies around Script error: No such module "convert". south of the village, which was converted from the founding site of Stout Brothers Motor's, a pioneering vehicle sales and service enterprise, which was founded in 1947 here.
Between the 1961 and 1991, the village was the location of a Royal Observer Corps underground monitoring post, part of 28 Group. The post has now been fully restored and is regularly maintained and preserved as a tribute to the last Group Commandant of 28 Group, local man J.R.D. (Hamish) Carr.[6]
