A large and extensive Parish in Aberdeenshire, bounded on the North by Montquhitter and Turriff; East by Methlic and Tarves; South by Old Meldrum, Daviot and Rayne, and on the West by Auchterless and Rayne Parishes. It measures thirteen miles from North east to South west and from seven to Eight miles in breadth. "Fyvyn is the name given to this Parish in most of the old Charters and Public Writings Connected with it. It is of Gaelic etymology and derived from Fia Chein, signifying

Signifying Deer-hill. There is a hill in the Parish which still goes by the name of Deer Hill, and the names of several of the Estates and farms have also been clearly traced to Gaelic original. Fyvie is one of the largest Parishes in Aberdeenshire. There are no mountain ranges in this Parish; smaller hills rise up in different parts of it, and in general there is a very pleasing variety of surface. The hill of Eastertown towards the south boundary, is the principal elevation. It is connected with, and may be considered a continuation of the ridge of the hill of Bethelnie, in the adjoining parish of Meldrum, which is said to be the highest land over which the Turnpike road passes between Edinburgh and Inverness. In the neighbourhood of the hamlet of Woodhead; there is a district which goes by the name of the "Windy Hills". The ground about this quarter bears marks of having been for a long period under water. Beds of quartz similar to those found along the Sea shore lie in every direction. the Substratum of the hill consists of decomposed Sand-stone. No organic remains, however, so far as I have heard, have been found in the locality. The

The small river Ythan which rises about eleven miles westward in the Parish of Forgue, and after a farther easterly course of twenty miles, falls into the Sea at Newburgh, a village in the Parish of Foveran. It possesses some statistical interest from the circumstance of pearls being frequently found in it. There are two Salmon fishings in this river one at the mouth of it, the other at the village of Ellon, about 3 miles from the Coast. The Parish abounds with copious and salubrious springs, several of the Wells still retain the names of those saints to whom they were dedicated in popish times. On the south side of the hill of Eastertown, there is St Paul's Well, which was long resorted to by the people of this and the surrounding parishes, and the favor of the Saint sought by casting an offering into the well. In a field upon a farm on the Estate of Minnonie which still retains the name of St John's Well, there are two other Sainted springs one dedicated to St John, the other to Saint Catherine, And a little Northward of where the Parish Church stands, there is St Peter's Well. None of these springs possess strong mineral qualities, and are remarkable only for the purity and sweetness

Sweetness of their waters. There is abundance of whin stone in the parish well adapted for building. Upon the farm of Cammaloun on the Estate of Fyvie, there has also been found sandstone of the same quality and appearance as that obtained in the extensive quarry at Delgaty, in the adjoining parish of Turiff. A vein of this stone is supposed to run from the Coast through the intermediate parishes. It is found in abundance in Turiff and Montquhitter, and partially in the Coast parishes of Gamrie and Aberlour. None has been met with further west than the point above referred to at Cammaloun. There is also at Petts on the Estate of Gight, a quarry of whinstone, valuable for the large slabs obtained at it. The districts of the parish most favorable for the researches of the botanist are the Braes of Gight, the Den of Rothie, and the old wood near Fyvie Castle. The most Extensive plantation in the parish is that of the Den of Rothie belonging to Mr Gordon of Fyvie. It runs West from the hollow of Fyvie, a distance of about two miles and a half. It consists chiefly of Fir, and produces considerable revenue. In the parish altogether it has been calculated that there 1735, Acres in wood. A great part of this was planted by the late General

General Gordon of Fyvie, and his example has been followed by the present proprietor. No separate account of the parish is known, previous to that contributed by the late incumbent, the Revd. [Reverend] William Moir, to the old Statistical Account, but various interesting notices, especially in relation to the church, the priory, and the chapel of St Rule at Folla are contained in the Chartularies of Arbroath and Aberdeen, in the Advocates Library of Edinburgh; in the Chartulary of Aberdeen, and Chaplains' Register, in the Library of King's College, and in a view of the Diocese of Aberdeen, Manuscript, in the Advocates Library, supposed to be written by Sir Samuel Forbes of Foveran. In the year 1296, the "Castle of Fyvyn" appears to have been visited by Edward I of England in his progress through Scotland. In 1395 the "Castel of Fivy", which must have then been a place of considerable strength, was defended by the "Gud lady", of Sir James Lindsay, though, "assegit straitly" by her undutiful Nephew Robert de Keith, Son of the Marischal, till her husband came to her relief and "quyte discomfyted", the said Robert And his Adherents near the Kirk of Bourtie. In 1644, Montrose took possession of Fyvie Castle, but not thinking it tenable against the Superior force of Argyle he retired to an eminence a little to the north eastward, which he defended with

with great bravery for several days, and then marched by night to Strathbogie. The Entrenchments are still distinctly to be seen, And the ground goes by the name of Montrose Camp. One of Argyle's encampments also on the lands of Ardlogie is still called the Camp-fold. The old orthography was "Fyvin" in correspondence with the etymology already assigned. It seems to have been a Royal Park, down to the time of Robert the 2nd And the Castle was no doubt a royal hunting seat. In 1325, mention is made of the "Kings Park of Fyvin". Between 1370 and 1380 it was given by Robert 2nd to his eldest son, John, then Steward of Scotland, and afterwards King by the title of Robert III. He soon resigned it in favor of his Cousin german Sir James Lindsay. It was acquired by the Prestons in 1390; by the Meldrums about 1440; by the Setons in 1596; and by the present family the Gordons, in 1726. The Estate of Gight in this parish now the property of the Earl of Aberdeen, formerly belonged to the maternal ancestors of the late Lord Byron. It was sold soon after the marriage of his mother, who was the heiress. About the middle of the Churchyard there is a humble grave, but one possessed of a certain romantic interest, that of the heroine of the pathetic Scotch ballad called "Tifties Bonnie Annie".

Priory. This was a cell of the Abbey of Arbroath, said by Spotswood to have been founded, along with a parish church by Fergus, Earl of Buchan, in 1179. whose donation of it to the Abbey was afterwards confirmed by his daughter, Margaret Countess of Buchan, And Wife of Sir William Cumming. In another account, the foundation is ascribed to King William the Lion; And in a deed of late 1285, Reginald C Cheyne is said to have founded the religious house on the lands of Ardlogy, that is, the priory.
The Parish church of Fyvie, near to which the priory was situated, was dedicated to St Peter; the memory of which is still preserved in the name of Peterswell, in the immediate vicinity.

This extensive and venerable pile stands on the north east bank of the Ythan, within a fine park; it has been built at different periods, but the original style is very happily preserved, and it combines now the imposing magnificence of a feudal age with the internal comfort and elegance of modern times. It consists of two sides of a square of turreted Architecture. The West Wing is terminated on the north by a tower, erected by the late Honorable General Gordon, on the site of the ancient chapel which had become ruinous. There is an extensive lake within the park, and altogether this is one of the finest seats in this County. About 3 miles west of the parish church, stands the Mansion House

House of Rothie, the residence of George Lesie Esq. It is a modern building pleasantly situated on a rising ground overlooking a little valley. About a mile further west is the House of Kinbroom, occupied by a member of the family of Rothie.
There is a Cairn on the outskirts of the farm of St John's Well, known by the name of Cairnchedly. It is greatly reduced now, from its former dimensions, in consequence of most of the cottages in the neighbourhood having been built out of it.
There are four places of worship within the parish two of them in connection with the Establishment, and two with the communion of Scotch Episcopalians. The parish church was built in 1808. It is a large and commodious structure, well situated for the parish generally, and contains sufficient accommodation. The former unwieldy extent of this parish is now greatly improved by the erection in the year 1833. of a new church at Millbrex, in the North east quarter of it, and the Annexation of a considerable

This name is by mistake termed Roger's Grave in "Pratts Buchan," no such name being well known as Roger's Grave, Edgar's Grave is a well known boundary name between two properties viz 'the Lands of Gight and Mains of Fyvie'. The name has its origin from the following incident. A dispute arose long ago between the Lairds of Gight and Mains of Fyvie respecting the march separating their lands and Edgar having persisted in stating that this spot was the proper boundary between the 2 lairds:- 'Gight got angry and in a passion, said he would make Edgar a land or Boundary Mark; & immediately shot him at this place, and buried here |

In 1644, it is recorded, That the Marques of Montrose on his way from Huntly occupied Fyvie Castle and grounds and finding that the Marques of Argyle with a much larger force making their way after him, Montrose at once removed from the Castle and selected a place for encampment, on a slopping ground of a most favourable position, a little under ½ a mile E. [East] of the Castle. and where he had also the Castle in view, and where he formed a Trench which is still known by Montrose's Trench and the outline of which is still to be Seen on the ground. It is recorded of the Trench "Having the River Ythan on his right and Wood on his left and a deep hollow and a brook ran before him which served as a ditch to break the fury of a charge of horsemen Argyle on his arrival sent a Regiment of foot to draw the Royalists from their stronghold Montrose sent a small trustworth body of his Staff who beat them back with much loss and discredit" It was here, it is said, the Great Montrose taught his Royalists to face and beat double their number of opponents and after a few more of similar engagements, Argyle Shifted his force to the heights of Ardlogie abt. [about] 2 miles NE. [North East] of the Castle - for further particulars Please see Pratt's Buchan &c
"In 1644, Montrose took possession of Fyvie Castle: but not thinking it tenable against the superior force of Argyle, he retired to an eminence a little to the north eastward, which he defended with great bravery for several days, and then marched by night to strathbogie. The entrenchments are still distinctly to be seen, and the ground goes by the name of Montrose Camp. One of Argyle's encampments also on the lands of Ardlogie is still [called the Camp-fold.] |

It is recorded that Edward 1st of England visited Fyvie Castle in 1296, and a few years after it became one of the royal residences of King Robert Bruce the lands around it being then a hunting-forest. In 1380 Robert 3rd resigned the Castle &c. to his Cousin Sir James de Lindsay and on his demise in 1397 the Castle &c. fell to his Son in Law Sir Henry Preston in 1397 the Castle &c. fell to his Son in Law Sir Henry Preston The oldest Tower of the Castle the S.E.

Captain Courtney. R.E. [Royal Engineers]. |

This stone covered a drain in the old County Road from Rayne to the Village of Auchterless: it was thence taken by the late James Hay, Chalmers & set up in his Father's Garden at Rothie Brisbane where it now stands. Its' original site is not known. The sculpturing is peculiar, as it does not represent the symbols in the form they are usually pourtrayed. The top figure appears to be the "Horse-shoe" or "Arch" symbol.
A Stone circle was removed from a hillock in the adjoining moss about 62 years ago but this Stone was not there.

Cheyne gave to the priory, the lands of Ardlogie and Leuchendy: and the same year, Henry Bishop of Aberdeen at the instance of the abbot and convent of Aberbrothock. granted a deed, ordaining that the amoluments of the vicarage of Fyvin, then vacant, should belong henceforth to the priory, provided that 100 Shillings were annually given to a perpetual chaplain, who should go about the parish, and dispense the sacrament to the parishoners. In 1323 Albertinus was appointed to the cure and keeping of the House of Fyvin, and in 1325, a letter was addressed to him by Bernard, Abbot of Abberbrothock, for the maintenance of discipline, and enjoining him with that view, to hold a chapter regularly three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays, to correct the irregularities of his brethren: to reform the divine worship on sabbaths and festivals.

Rev. [Reverend] John Laing
Charles Chalmers Esqr.
Mr A. Simpson Ardlogie |
028 |
"About the middle of the churchyard there is a more humble Grave, but one possessed of a certain romantic interest, that of the heroine of the pathetic scotch ballad called "Tiftie's Bonnie Annie". The original tombstone having become decayed, Mr Gordon of Fyvie, a few years ago, caused a new one to be placed upon it, A fac-simile in every respect. The name of the unfortunate damsel, the story of whose love is so finely told in the ballad, was Agnes Smith. The common pronunciation of the Christian name was Nannie, which in the ballad is farther metamorphosed into Annie. On one of the turrets of Fyvie Castle there is a stone figure of the renowned trumpeter sounding his horn towards Mill of Tiftie." Statistical Account. |

This ancient seat of the family of Gight is now a ruin, but with its surrounding scenery, a very beautiful and picturesque one. It stands on the north bank of the Ythan, about four miles and a half east of the parish Church. The valley of the river on both sides is clothed with wood; on the north bank with natural wood of every variety of foliage; while the associations connected with the spot, as having belonged to the family of one who, during his short career, shed around him such a bright display of genius and fancy, (for himself and for the sake of mankind, it is to be deplored so unhappily directed) give to it an additional interest.

[Note beside 'Camp']
I can find no certain authority on this point, - nor is this Camp in the line of the Roman Road to Glenmaillen.
It might however have been placed here as an outpost to guard their flank on that Road, & I have accordingly
allowed the tradition to stand good for this object.
[Signed] E.H. Courtney Captn. [Captain] RE [Royal Engineers]
11th March 1869
on further enquiry I find it more likely that this trench is simply the remains of the old road from Meiklefolla (or Follarule) & other Farms to the mill now called Meadaple.
Follarule was Church lands, and Meadaple their mill, to which all their Tenants were restricted. This name is therefore cancelled. [Initialled] E.H.C. Captn. [Captain] RE [Royal Engineers] 30th June 1869. |

This chapel, it is said, was founded in the year 1376 by Adam Pyngil burgess of Aberdeen in Connection with the Cathedral Church of Aberdeen. It was dedicated to Saint Regulus or St. Rules, and removed about 70 years Since So that no vestige of the Site can now be seen. Site is in an arable field abt. [about] 7. Chains S. [South] of Folla School About the middle of the 18th Century Bishop Petrie of the Diocese of Moray kept a College here, It is Said that a presbyterian rabble on one occasion plundered the church of its ornaments amongst which were two Silver Chalices of Considerable antiquity one of which however, after a long period, was returned, and is now in the possession of Mr Leslie the Incumbent of St. Georges Meikle Folla the other was retained and is now in use in the Ph. [Parish] Ch. [Church] of Daviot Mr Leslie the Incumbent it seems is gathering Materials for writing the Ecclesiastical history of this district.
The Chapel of St. Rule, at Folla, or Folla-Rule, was founded, in 1376. by Adam Pyngil, burgess of Aberdeen, with consent of Marjory Blackvatyr, his spouse, It was endowed with the lands of Folethrowle, which the founder acquired in 1364 from Hugh de Ross, Lord of Pilorth, and brother of William Earl of Ross, and with the Mill and Multures of Folethrowle. The foundation Charter was Confirmed by King Robert II., in 1379. (Collections of the Shires, page 493,) |
