Footdee is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland known locally as "Fittie". It is an old fishing village at the east end of the harbour. The name is actually folk etymology. Far from being "Foot of the Dee/Fit o the Dee", it is actually a corruption of a former dedication to a "St Fothan". The area has had a settlement as far back as the Medieval times and the first recorded reference to the area of Fittie was in the year 1398. This village was slightly further North than where Footdee is now located. It would have been near to where the St Clement's Church is located.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aboutaberdeen.com/footdee.php )〕 The following is taken from Historic Scotland's Information Supplementary to the Statutory List:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hsewsf.sedsh.gov.uk/hslive/hsstart?P_HBNUM=20315 )〕 On an 1828 map, the new housing squares were specifically labelled 'Fish Town'. 'Footdee' referred to the larger area from St. Clement's Church to 'Fish Town'. Later, the name 'Footdee' was erroneously used to refer specifically to the housing squares, with 'Fish Town' becoming forgotten.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maps.nls.uk/towns/detail.cfm?id=303 )〕 On Tuesday 25 September 2012, Footdee became covered in foam from the sea after experiencing strong wind and rain conditions. The effect was like a blanket of snow and this made the UK national news.〔(''Strange sea foam blankets Scottish fishing village as storms batter Britain'' ), The Telegraph.〕 ==Gallery== Image:ChiesaFootdee.jpg|The Church of Footdee Image:RoadFootdee.jpg|Nice street in Footdee Image:CasegiardiniFootdee.jpg|Houses and Gardens in Footdee Image:Footdee_War_Memorial.jpg|Footdee War Memorial 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Footdee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
