OS1/1/35/1 FYVIE [parish] Parish of Fyvie Parish of Fyvie Parish of Fyvie Mr Lang, Manse, Fyvie Mr Strachan, Greenmyre, Mr Fowlie, Woodhead 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 [Continued on page 2]

OS1/1/35/2 FYVIE (parish) Continued Parish of Fyvie [Continued from page 1] 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 [Continued on page 3]

OS1/1/35/3 FYVIE (parish) Continued Parish of Fyvie [Continued from page 2] 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 [Continued on page 4]

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 [Continued on page 5]

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 [Continued on page 6]

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".

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.

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.

[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.]
