"The name of this parish is supposed to be Gaelic and to signify the fair bank of the river. The parish is situated in that district of the country called Formartin, and extends from five to six miles in length along the north bank of the river Don and from three to four in breadth - containing about fifteen square miles. It is bounded on the south by the river Don, which separates it from the parishes of Dyce, Kinellar, and Kintore; by the parish of Keith-hall on the north and west, and by New Machar on the east. Its shape has some resemblance to that of an Irish harp with the broad end turned to the east." Extract from the Statistical Account of Scotland (Aberdeenshire) page 743.
This parish is in a good state of cultivation and possesses a considerable quantity of wood. This past season a large extent of moss has been reclaimed and improved, on the estate of Sir William Forbes Bart. [Baronet]. There is a small village in the parish containing an Inn, Post Office etc, and situated about a mile from Kinaldie Railway Station on the Great North of Scotland line. Proprietors the Right Hon. [Honourable] the Earl of Kintore and Sir William Forbes Bart. [Baronet].
Note. There is no portion of this Parish detached, nor portion, or portions, of any other parishes enclosed within the boundary of this Parish. The Parish boundary common to Kintore is also the Municipal and Parliamentary Boundary of that Burgh. |

STONE CIRCLES [Ochie Hill] |
Stone Circles (Sites of supposed) |
Mr. William Warrack, Newmill, Fintray |
055 |
Two circular banks, certainly artificial, about four feet broad and, from the centre of enclosures two feet high, having an entrance about eight feet wide, and always pointing Southward. At each side of the entrance a stone is placed which is sunk about two feet into the earth and raised one foot. On the western side of the entrance to Circle No. 1. are two stones, not so much raised as those already mentioned but probably as deeply sunk - these with the circular bank have suggested the idea that they may have been stone circles - Except Mr. Warrack's opinion there is no other information in the district. As the field in which Circle No. 1. is placed, is being trenched, this circle will soon be effaced.
NB. On my examining this ground on which these "Circles" occur, one of them had been nearly entirely removed, the field having been just trenched, & from the fact that no remains were discovered I would imagine that it was not a "sepulchral" circle but only a "place of worship". The other Circle, I believe to be really one of these Druidical remains, & in this conjecture I am supported by Mr. C.E. Dalrymple, one of the Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries (Scot:) [Scotland] who kindly examined it for me. It is proposed shortly to have a digging at this Circle, when it's character will be more easily arrived at. McKenzie the tenant at Logie (a farm about a mile S.E. [South East] of this place) stated that one of these Circles was called "Cabury" a very Teutonic sounding name indeed, - like "Cadbury Camp" in Somersetshire, &c. &c." [Signed] E.H. Courtney Capt.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers], 30th June 1866. |

I have been present at the

these Circles, and there is
now no doubt that both are
veritable Circles, & in both
sepultures have occurred.
No urns were found in either, & it is therefore supposed that they are either of a very early type, or
that else the clay (composing the urns) was of a bad quality, which has now mixed with the soil. [Initialled] E.H.C. Capt.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] 31st July 1866. |

STONE CELT FOUND HERE [Ochie Hill] |
Site of Cairn Stone Celt found here |
Mr. William Warrack, Factor, Fintray
Mr. David Milne, Teacher, Fintray |
055 |
A very large Cairn, destroyed a number of years ago, situated a short distance north of Cairnpark farmsteading. It consisted of an immense pile of stones about 20 feet high and 36 feet in diameter. Surrounding this was a wall-like circle of stones about 3 feet high, the whole containing 3'000 Cartloads of stones which have been used for drainage and the erection of stone walls. The only remains found near it was a Stone Axe which the farmer has lost, not considering it of any value. |

Supposed MOTE HILL [Hatton of Fintray] |
(Supposed) Mote Hill |
|
065 |
A small eminence Situated about 1/4 of a mile north east of Hatton of Fintray. Though not very regular in form, this Knoll seems to be artificial. It is not probable from its position and general appearance, that it is a natural feature. The tradition of the district points out this, as a place whereon beacon fires were lighted in olden times, to warn the people of invasion, or approaching danger. An extensive range of Country to the north, and west, can be seen from the summit of this knoll, and it is very probable that this is the origin of the above tradition. Its general appearance and location leads strongly to the supposition that it is one of those artificial erections known to antiquaries as "Mote Hills", and I consider it may be safely written on Plan as "Supposed Mote Hill".

This building is supposed to have been erected in 1703, and was the place where the proprietors of the Barony of Easter Fintry, designed Logie Fintray, held their court meetings, the manuscript records of which, from 1712 to 1723, are still extant. Subsequently the Gardners Society of Fintray was granted permission by the then proprietor, Sir Arthur Forbes, to hold their meetings in it. After his death, Sir John Forbes, (the late proprietor) withdrew this liberty, but, wishing to have the building removed, granted them the material of the old, to erect a new house.
It was accordingly demolished and all that now remains is a small arch which supported an outside staircase leading to the upper storey. This is locally Known as the "Thief's Hole," and was entered by a strong iron door secured by a padlock and is supposed to have been used to lodge prisoners in previous to their trial. |

The late minister (Mr. Leslie) "when improving his glebe dug up the foundations of some buildings, supposed to have belonged to the Abbacy of Lindores in Fife; a branch of which is said to have stood where the principal burying ground of this parish now is. The buildings (denominated the Northern Abbey) are supposed to have been erected about the year 1386, from a stone bearing that date having been observed many years ago in in the dike of the burying ground, which had probably been composed of fragments of the demolished abbey, whereof no vestige now remains above the surface of the ground; but the foundations of its walls occasionally interrupt the digging of graves." Extract from Statistical Account.
The "church of Fintray" belonged to the Abbacy of Lindores at a period long previous to the supposed date of erection of the "Northern Abbey", as Earl David, brother of King William of Scotland, granted to the abbey for its use the church of Londors and the church of Fintray, (de Fintrith) amongst many others, by a charter dated A.D. 1202.
"The proprietor of the lands of Fintray collects and pays to the Exchequer the feu-duties which belonged to the Abbacy of Lindores, - several of the landed estates in this part of the country holding of said Abbacy and paying feu-duty thereto." Extract from Statistical Account. |

This church was "built by Sir William Forbes of Craigievar A.D. 1703, but which I cannot say is consecrated. This new church has an isle for this family, wherein there is also a room for their use, and again within it, a hearth and cupboard etc. so that people may eat and drink, and even smoak in it if they will." Extract from Collections on the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff.
The west gable, surmounted by a belfry, is all that now remains of this church, the remainder of the material having been used in the erection of the present church. Close to the north wall of the church "a vault of extraordinary strength was built a few years ago (in 1830) by the parishioners, to secure dead bodies from resurrectionists; from whence, after remaining perhaps three months or more, the bodies are removed and regularly interred." Extract from Statistical Account. This vault still exists, but has not been used for many years. |

This church is situated in the centre of a small graveyard on the north bank of the river Don a short distance west of Cothal Mills. The space inclosed by the walls, which are still standing and kept in good repair, is the burying ground of the Craigievar family. The date of its erection is not known but it must have been previous to 1633, as a silver cup in possession of the present minister seems to indicate. It bears the following inscription and date, "Holie Communion, Fintray, 1633. Revd. [Reverend] Adam Barclay, Minister". There is a tradition in the district that the metal of which this cup is composed was originally in the form of a *skull which was believed to possess the power of averting impending storms, and was for that purpose carried aloft through the district by the priests of the time.
"The minister has in his possession a silver cup belonging to the parish, bearing date 1632, which, tradition says, was formed from a *Silver head of St. Meddan, the tutelar saint of the parish, which in the days of Popish Superstition was wont to be carried through the parish in procession, for the purpose of bringing down rain, or clearing up the weather, as circumstances might require." Collections on the Shires of Aberdeen & Banff P. [Page] 245. New Stat [Statistical] Account Page 168.
* Note. There can be no doubt about the above being the ruins of a Church, and the possession of the silver relic coupled with the tradition regarding it, above-mentioned, lead to a very strong supposition that this Church was dedicated to St. Meddan. All the early Churches were dedicated, and it is more than probable that the "Silver Head of St. Meddan" would be kept in "St. Meddan's" Church. [Signed] E.H. Courtney Capt.R.E.

A circular bank, evidently artificial about four feet broad and, from the centre of the enclosure, two feet high, having an entrance about eight feet wide pointing in a south-west direction. Unlike the two at Cothill farm, this supposed circle has no stones near it, and Mr. Warrack's opinion is the only authority.
Note. There are two enclosures here. [Initialled] E.H.C.
Mr. Dalrymple F.S.A. (Scot:) [Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland] was good enough to lend me his aid in ascertaining whether these were veritable circles or not; he came to the conclusion that they were, though whether sepulchral or not, he could not possibly say. In a letter to me on the subject, he writes; - "The enclosures at "Mimrikin's Clump" are very curious, and as far as my experience goes, one of them is unique, being a well-defined semi-circle enclosed by a low vallum. There are some few large stones dotted on the said vallum, & my impression is that there have been more, placed probably with some degree of regularity, thus; [insertion of drawing depicting previous description]. I say "probably", because I have seen, more than once, the stones of "Druids Circles" placed on a low mound running round the circle." It is proposed before long to have a digging at these places. [Signed] E.H. Courtney. Capt.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] 30th June 1866.
P.S. On digging, these Circles have been found to be sepulchral, but no urns were found in them, either from the clay having mixed with the soil, or from the Circles being of a primitive, & very early type. [Initialled] E.H.C. Capt.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] 31/7/66. [1866] |
