Whitecairns sits north of Aberdeen as the kind of place you'd only find if you already knew someone there — a scatter of houses along the road rather than a high street, more farmland and stone than shopfronts, and the sort of quiet that comes from being a stop on the way to somewhere rather than a destination itself. There isn't a working set of figures for this one — no read on house prices, schools, crime, or transport links specific to Whitecairns itself, so I won't pretend to one. What's available is Scotland-wide context only, which tells you about the country, not about this locality, so it's not much help in deciding whether the place itself suits you. What can be said honestly is this: Whitecairns reads as a small, rural Aberdeenshire settlement rather than a commuter suburb with its own infrastructure, and anyone considering it should treat that as the starting point — go and look at the roads, the nearest schools, and the actual commute into Aberdeen for yourself, because the data here won't do that work for you. If you already know the area from driving through it, trust that impression over anything a spreadsheet could add.
