(re. "fix grammar" comment and template move; reverting now for consistency with Wikipedia and RL official usage)
The related Wikipedia article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garioch not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garioch in the same manner as it is Highland (council area) , not The Highland (council area) (even though their council's home page *does* have "The Highland Council" in their logo, neither they do not use "The Highland" everywhere in common usage).
High level areas meetings are held by Aberdeenshire Council for Garioch Area Committee, not "The Garioch Area Committee", recycling points are in Garioch, not "The Garioch", etc. Same picture for the NHS ("Garioch", not "The Garioch") and even the name of the local running club.

What is the rough guide for deciding whether a settlement is Primary or Other in this box?
For example Insch only has a population of 196 going by its page (ref is 2012). Where as Kingseat (not listed) has a population of 750? (Full disclosure: I've got a draft page for Kingseat pending review).
Should it be a minimum population size? Or largest settlement within a community council area? Is there an existing agreement or guidelines already? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gav barnett ( talk • contribs) 21:23, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
From what I can gather from Template_talk:Aberdeenshire_places: "Selection of "primary settlements" in each area was carried out using an indicator population of 500 in the 2004 Settlement Population Estimate, but with a few exceptions for the more sparsely population areas where smaller settlements (still ~300 at least, or historically much larger) are more significant."
