Upperton is a fermtoun situated approximately 300 metres west-south-west of Upperton in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site represents a settlement form characteristic of the medieval and early modern Scottish Highlands and north-east, where dispersed clusters of farm buildings served as the basic unit of agricultural organisation. Fermtouns of this period typically comprised multiple dwelling and working structures arranged around a shared space, reflecting communal land management practices. The archaeological record for such sites in Aberdeenshire indicates occupation spanning the medieval period into the early modern era, though the specific dating and developmental sequence at this location would require detailed archaeological investigation to establish with precision.
