pass leads into the parish from the East, commencing at the confluence of the Rivers Don and Bucket below the Castle. Craigenscore is the highest hill in the parish. Benneau is the next highest, the castle is built in the declivity of this hill. Limestone is in great abundance in this parish, and. is worked to great advantage by the Tenants both for their own use and for sale. The Earl of Fife is sole heritor of the parish, as well as Superior of the Estates that once belonged to the ancient and powerful Earls of Mar. The Mains farm at the Castle is perhaps as well managed in every respect as any in Scotland. There is a parish school and an adventure school kept during Winter and Spring, in the remote part of the parish, on the celebrated classical spot where John of Badenyon lived."
From Collection of the Shires 1843, page 613
"Glenbucket , dedicated to Saint peter, is so named from Bucket, a rivulet, on both sides of which the parish stands. Glenbucket (properly Inverbucket because situated where Bucket falls into Don) the seat of Gordon of Glenbucket descended of those of Rothiemay, whose stock was Cairnburrow. "- there is no portion of this parish detached, nor portion, or portions, of any other parish enclosed within the boundary of this Parish - |

a conspicuous mountain, situated between the rivers Don and Bucket, and about a Mile N.N.W. [North North West] of Castle Newe The summit or Trigonometrical Station is a parish boundary point between the parishes of Strathdon and Glenbucket. The derivation of the name Seems doubtful Tradition has it, that it is derived from the Gaelic for the word 'Holy' 'Naomh' and that in a rock upon the Summit a Well was Consecrated by some favorite Saint of the district, and that the natives used the water as an antidote against witchcraft and for procuring charms etc. Mr Bremnar the Parish Minister of Glenbucket informed me that some years ago a great number of pins were found in the place. Many of which through verdigris and length of time deposited, were almost defaced. It appears to have never been a spring well but merely the rain water deposited from the splits of the rock. The Glenbucket side of the Hill is the property of the Earl of Fife and the Strathdon side (viz. the South Side) that of Sir Charles Forbes of Castle Newe, Baronet. |

The Parish Church of Glenbucket, Situated in the Glen a little more than ½ a Mile N.W. [North West] of Ben Newe, and upon a rising ground, The date on which the Church was built seems rather doubtful, There is however a Stone on the manse dated 1775 and it is Supposed that both the Church and the Manse were erected on the same date, The Church is Supposed to be on the foundation of the old one, and the upper stone of the west gable is dated 1629. It is however supposed to be a date stone of the old Church, as other relics of the old Church are to be Seen elsewhere viz. on the north wing of the Manse are two tolerably preserved sculptures. one of which is representing a Bishop with mitre and Crosier etc. and under which is dated [1486]. The other also representing an Ecclesiastical personage probably the patron Saint of the Church. The name of the Saint the old Church was dedicated to I could not find out - as the Minister appears very ignorant on these subjects Tradition says that at one period the nearest place for public worship was Tarland. and on one occasion going thither many of the Glenbucket people were drowned in the Don, after which a petition was forwarded to the Arch Bishop to Supply them with a Church in the Glen which he granted and was the one above named |
