A parish in the shire of Aberdeen, situated about 30. miles from that City, and is pleasantly situated in a valley on each side of the River Don, containing upwards of 100 houses and in 1861 had a population of 590. It is bounded on the North by Cabrach and Auchindoir on the east by Auchindoir and Tullynessle and Forbes, on the South by Towie and on the west by Cabrach and Towie Parishes. Its length from north to South is about six miles and from East to West about five miles. The soil is generally rich and fertile and about three fourths of the surface of the parish is under cultivation, the remainder being occupied with wood and mountain pasture. The Geological Formation in the parish is in the lower ground, Old Red Sandstone which extends from the Burn of Corchinnan on the north to the Den of Kildrummy on the South, and from the base of the hills on the west to the valley through which the Turnpike road is

Chapels.
Besides the church of Kildrummy dedicated to St. Bride, there was another forming the church of the old parish of Clova, the seat of a Culdee Monastery, and most probably dedicated to St. Molloch, (the holy well in its neighbourhood being still called Sammiluak's Well). Some remains of the chapel and burying ground still exist, as well as the ancient Font, now in the garden at Clova House In vol.

(founded in 1010) dedicated to St. Molloch (Banffshire) lies a few miles west from the Deveron. It was the Seat of one of the primitive monasteries and had its five dependent churches; About an equal distance from the River on the other side was another monastery at Clova or Cloveth as the place is called in ancient charters. Both these monasteries formed part of the original possessions of the See of Aberdeen and were confirmed to it by a bull of Pope Adrian IV in 1157." There appears also to have been a chapel on Machar's Haugh dedicated to St. Machar. The names Chapel Haugh and Chapel Ford are still applied to neighbouring localities. There was also a chapel on the Estate of Glenkindy, close by the Farm of Chapelton. It was dedicated to St. Ronald, and in old charters is usually designated Chapel Ronald; A burying ground was attached now long disused. the Revd.

Antiquarian Remains.
Numerous "Pit Dwellings" or "Pondbarrows" are still to be Seen on a shoulder of the hill near to Ardhuncart and also on the North side of Craigiebeg Wood and the ridge joining it to Drumgoudrum. they are of a circular shape and generally measure from four to five yards in diameter. Many Flint arrow heads have been found in the localities which these primitive remains occupy; as also a Bronze Celt of the most primitive form; these are now in the possession of the Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Christie of Kildrummy Manse. A fine Bronze spear head was also found on the slope above Ferniebrae. A number of stones known as the Camp Stones were on the hill above Greenstile; they were lately removed. A number of Erd or Eird Houses "Picts Houses" or "Weems on the Muir of Clova (Wester) are perhaps

perhaps the most prominent Antiquarian remains in the parish. Only two out of a considerable number, are now in preservation. Great numbers of Quernes have been found, and are yet from time to time, turned up in the process of cultivation in the neighbourhood. A full description of these as they existed, before cultivation interfered with the ground on which they are situated, is given by the late Professor Stuart of Aberdeen, published in the transactions of the Antiquarian Society. Besides Quernes, generally formed of Mica Schist, altho' sometimes of Sandstone, Paterae and other stone vessels and implements have been found in the same neighbourhood. These are generally formed of Sandstone. Only one monolith or standing stone exists in the Parish and is situated in Drumnahive wood. It is known by the name of "Lulach's Stone," and the tradition connected with it

it, is, that it marks the site of a skirmish between Lulach the Son of Macbeth, and Malcolm Canmore, before Lulach's defeat and death at Milldewan in Rhynie. Antiquarians would have little doubt about its belonging to a long prior era. It has no inscription or engraving upon it. It is to be noticed that the neighbouring farm is still known as Lewishillock, and that contiguous to Lewishillock is a farm called Battlehillock.
On the farm of Cairnhead was, a century ago, a large cairn, from which the farm seems to have derived its name. No account has been preserved whether any remains were found on its removal.
The principal object of medieval Antiquarian interest in the Parish is the "Castle of Kildrummy". the opinion of Dr. [Doctor] Joseph Robertson of Edinburgh is, that it was built in its general form as presently remaining towards the end of the 13th Century. The general Plan

Plan and style resembles the Castles built by that English King on the marches of Wales to repress that newly subdued people. Most probably a building of some sort previously occupied the same site, and was employed in the building of the Castle whose ruins still remain. In the rubble of the Tower which may be considered as the oldest; vizt. the Snow Tower on the north east angle, moulded stones are still to be seen. The first mention of Kildrummy in any authentic document occurs in the Itinerary of Edward I. In his northern progress he is recorded as visiting Kildrummy on July 31st, 1296, and again on 8th October 1303. At that time and probably for long before as well as afterwards, it was the principal seat of the powerful Earls of Mar. The first mention of the Castle of Kildrummy is in a precept by Edward I, committing it to the custody of Robert

Robert Bruce in 1305, (as guardian, it would seem, of his nephew the Young Earl of Mar.) After that period it is continually mentioned in old records and charters. In 1361, it was besieged and taken by King David the II, on occasion of strife between him and Thomas Earl of Mar, Son of Donald, Earl of Mar, who fell at the battle of Dupplin in 1332. In 1404, it was surprised and taken by Alexander Stewart, Eldest son of the Wolf of Badenoch, who married the Widowed Countess Isabella, and became, in her right Earl of Mar. On his death in 1435, the Earldom with the Castle and lands were held as a fief reverted to the Crown, and were given by Royal gift to various persons in succession until the title of the Erskines' for the Earldom was acknowledged as rightful heir of the old line in 1565. The lands were also recovered by the Erskines through process of law on or about 1630.

A cairn of stones on the Southern slope of the Corse of Laigh, forming a point in the parish boundary, popular tradition, assigns this cairn as the tomb of a maiden who belonged to Auchinleith, and who being attached to a neighbouring farmer's son; quarrelled with him and deliberately committed felo de se. People being guilty of this crime were not allowed to be interred in the churchyard; therefore she was carried here and buried. |

Revd. [Reverend] J Christie Kildrummy
Mr. J Beattie Littlemill
Mr. Dow Gamekeeper Clova |
051 |
Inside of a small plantation of Mixed Wood near to Littlemill there Can be distinctly made out the track or remains of a foundation, the people in the neighbourhood Call it Sammiluak's Chapel or St. Luke's, but there is no doubt that this is the Site of one of the primitive Monasteries mentioned in Vol. II [Volume 2] part III [3] of the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland as "About equal distance from the river on the other side was another Monastery at Clova or Cloveth". The local tradition is the effect that this was one of the first Mission Chapels of St. Columba, who was the first to introduce Christianity into Scotland. This seems very likely from its proximity to so many Erd Houses, or Aboriginal habitations.
St. Luke, Called Sammiluak's Chapel formerly much frequented by all the northern parisches. Collections of the Shires |

"A mile east from the Church, on the South side of Don, at a place called Machar's Haugh, is a Chapel dedicated to St. Marcarius or Macarius." vide Collections of the Shires &c.
Although it is believed that a chapel formerly stood here, yet at present no authentic or satisfactory information can be obtained of it from any of the old inhabitants of this district, either as regards the date of erection, by whom it was founded, or what time it fell into disuse, it must be supposed to be in common, and coeval with others of the same description, whose history is better known, even the site of it is uncertain. A ruin is remembered to have been here, but whether it has been the Chapel, or any other building, Cannot be strictly stated, but it is generally supposed that the Chapel stood hereabouts. |

The Great Keep or "Snow Tower" is undoubtedly the oldest of which any vestige is now to be seen, and it is at least as ancient as the days of William the Lion, whose brother the renowned David, of Huntingdon and Garioch, is known to have resided here. It is very probable that he was its first founder. However, it has been said that Gilbert, Thane of Mar, founded the said tower in the year 1172. The Snow Tower, (a name which it is supposed to have acquired from the whiteness of the freestone, of which it, as well as other parts of the Castle was built, was certainly a stupendous pile of masonary, having been no less than 166 feet in circumference externally and diameter internal 27 feet and 13 feet 4 inches thick in the walls at the ground.
It consisted of five floors or stories, but its exact height is unknown though one account makes it to be 54 yards. In the centre of this tower was a deep draw-well. which it is supposed was sufficient for the supply of the garrison, as there was a subterraneous passage or covered way leading down from the back of the fortress to the brook which runs through the ravine. The top vault, which was covered with grass, had a breach towards the north east commonly called the Devil's Gap. A few years ago this tower fell with a dreadful crash, and the remaining walls is only a few feet above the surface. |

"The finest fragment that now remains is the ruin of the Chapel, which forms the centre of the eastern side of the pentagon. It measures 36 feet by 18 inside the walls In the eastern gable, over the place where the altar Stood, is a beautiful window, Consisting of three tall narrow divisions, the mouldings and other ornaments being still in tolerable preservation. This window, with the large and elegant tower which flanks it on the North Side, are almost all the remains on which the eye can rest with pleasure, ghastly-looking masses of Stone and rubbish being nearly all that now exists of this once Splendid fabric." The building was nearly all of "firm and beutifully-chisselled ashler work." inside & outside "The Chapel was used as a place of worship, until a Comparitively recent date," vide L. Duncan's Pamphlet. Tradition reports, that the Chapel was occupied as a Magazine of forage, during the noted Siege by the forces of Edward 1st in the Year 1306. |

"The Castle among the objects of antiquity claims the first regard, Tradition bears, that it originally consisted but of one great tower, of five stories or floors, distinguished by the appellation of the Snow Tower, in the western corner of the present fabric, which was afterwards carried round a pretty spacious court, forming an unequal pentagon, in which six other towers, differing in magnitude and form, rose for the protection of intervening buildings, which appear to have been but two stories in height" vide Statistical Account 1843 Page 977
"Kildrummy Castle, the ancient seat of the Earl of Mar, is a short mile from the church, the ruins of which show it to have been a most stupendous and magnificent fabric. It is said to have consisted of seven towers, the lowest of which, on the west side, called the Snow Tower, is yet (partly) standing, and is mad up of seven stories of vaults, one above another, about twenty feet high each. The top vault, which is covered with grass has a breach towards the north-east, commonly called The Devil's Gap, concerning which there are sundry fabulous traditions, needless to mention. In the bottom of the tower there was a draw well," (now filled up) "where they drew water to the top, through a round hole for that purpose in the middle of every vault. There is another draw well in the close. There is a passage under ground, vaulted above, and causewayed below, for some hundred of paces, opening to a rivulet upon the north side, so high that two men on horseback could ride abrest for watering, in case of a siege

Kildrummy Castle (Ruins of)
This is now fallen, and stops going in far, but some of the old inhabitants pretend to have in their time entered here, and gone through under the castle, south, till they turned east again, and went so far on, that for fear and want of air, they could venture no further. It is certain there are in this parish several openings to such vaults which the country people call Pict Houses, on the north side of the close is the remains of a most glorious hall, in form of an oblong square, more than sixty feet in length, and about forty broad, with large arched windows, this is called Barnet's Hall. On the northeast side is the ruin of a church, and a church-yard where human bones have been frequently digged up. To the east is The Black Lardner, which was burnt by Edward Carnarvon. It was burned again by the English in Cromwell's time; and the new house on the south side built by the Lords of Elphinstone, when they were possessed of Kildrummy, was burnt by the Highlanders at the revolution. Upon the north side is a den, with a current running through the middle of it called The Back Den." vide collection of the Shires of Aberdeen & Banff 1843. Page 589 , &c.
"Numerous dates and founders have been assigned to Kildrummy Castle; but, as these accounts rest on no good authority, it may safely be asserted that nothing is known about its origin. It has been matter of dispute whither the first edifice on this spot was of a military or a religious character. Be this as it may, there is no doubt that the place takes it name from the natural configuration of the ground. Kildrummy (as it is called in Gaelic) signifying the "top of the hill or rising ground," and the common form of the word the "Cell or Chapel on the rising ground." The Great Keep or "Snow Tower", is undoubtedly the oldest part of which any vestige is now to be seen, and it is at least as ancient as the days of William the Lion, whose brother, the renowned David, of Huntingdon and Garrioch, is known to have resided here. It is very probable that he was the first founder - See No. 3.

Kildrummy Castle (Ruins of)
However it has been said that Gilbert, Thane of Mar, founded the said tower in the year 1172. The Snow Tower (a name which it is supposed to have acquired from the whiteness of the freestone, of which it, as well as other parts of the Castle, was built) was certainly a stupendous pile of masonary, having been no less than 166 feet in circumference externally, and diameter internal 27 feet and 13 feet 4 inches thick in the walls at the ground. It consisted of five floors or stories, but its exact height is unknown, though one account makes it 54 yards. In the centre of this tower was a deep draw-well, which it is supposed was sufficient for the supply of the garrison, as there is a subterraneous passage, or covered way, leading down from the back of the fortress to the brook which runs through the ravine. As the wants or abilities of its successive proprietors increased, they added towers and buildings, of various forms and dimensions, until it assumed the form of an irregular pentagon, enclosing a court, and defended at the angles by round towers, whilst a fosse of great magnitude surrounded it, except where the northern ravine was security sufficient. The gate and drawbridge stood at the south angle (now a mere heap of rubbish) and the former is understood to have been flanked by two of the six towers which guarded the outer wall. If ever there was another of these circular towers, (and tradition says there were seven) it must have been in the interior. By what remains, the exterior walls seem to have been generally, though not uniformly about 9 feet thick, and those of the interior 4. The remains of several galleries and staircases may still be traced within the thickness of those formidable ramparts. The Great Hall, or (as some think) an immense vault underneath it, is an open shell of 66 feet by 36. It is on the north side, and has had a row of windows overlooking the ravine. But the finest fragment that now remains is the ruin of the Chapel, which form the centre of the eastern side of the pentagon. It measures 36 feet by 18 inside the walls. In the eastern gable, over the place where the altar stood, is a beautiful window, consisting of three tall narrow divisions, the mouldings and other ornaments being still in tolerable preservation

Kildrummy Castle (Ruins of )
This window, with the large and elegant tower which flanks it on the north, are almost all that remains, on which the eye can rest with pleasure, ghastly-looking masses of stone and rubbish being nearly all that now exists of this once splendid fabric.
A large building adjoining the Donjon, with a lofty gable, notched in usual style of the sixteenth century, is remarkable, as being the part of most recent erection. (Lord Alexander Elphinstone, who fell at Flodden, was its founder), and for a huge opening like a Gothic arch, which seems to leave it with but very slender support. This gable, and some of the north face, the large towers on the east, the projecting end of the chapel, and some other parts, are of firm and beautifully-chisselled ashlar work. Unfortunately for the picturesque effect of Kildrummy Castle, there is not a single footbreadth of the wall entire. Corbal tables and crenillated parapets, which generally form the chief ornament of structures of its class, are thus altogether awanting, nor can the form or materials of the roof be now ascertained. Such aged persons as have seen parts of it nearly entire, are all too ignorant to be able to give any intelligible description. It may, however, be presumed, that part of it was castellated, and part weather stated. The highest remaining tower may have an altitude of some 50 feet. The authentic history of this ancient stronghold, in so far as it can be of interest, is soon told. In the year 1306 after Robert Bruce was defeated at Methven, his Queen, and it is said his brother Niel or Nigel, and other persons of distinction took refuge for the winter at Kildrummy, whilst the hero himself sought safety amongst the wildest recesses of the Highlands. The English laid siege to Kildrummy without effect, until a blacksmith belonging to the garrison undertook, for a large bribe, to betray it into their hands. He executed his diabolical purpose by introducing a red-hot coulter or bar of iron, by a window, into an apartment filled with forage and such like stores, which soon set the whole Castle in a blaze - See No. 5

Kildrummy Castle (Ruins of)
The Queen appears to have left the Castle ere this catastrophe happened, at least she did not fall into the hands of the English until after she had escaped into Ross-shire. Some accounts state that Niel Bruce perished in the flames, along with hundreds of other persons, others, that he was made prisoner, underwent a mock trial, and was ignominiously put to death by the invaders. The treacherous blacksmith received a reward befitting his deserts, the English Commander ordering the sum of gold, for which the wretch had stipulated, to be poured down his throat in a melted state, which of course caused his immediate death. It appears to have been quickly rebuilt, as, in 1335, the adherents of Edward Baliol together with the English auxiliaries, invested it, but some chiefs of the opposite party were able to muster a sufficient force, not only to raise the siege, but to give battle to the beleaguering army on an elevated moor called the Glaschoil. Here the friends of Bruce obtained a decisive victory. Amongst those of the vanguished who fell, was Lord Arthur Cumming, over whose grave is an immense pile of stones. Numerous other tumuli lie scattered along the heath, which is now covered with young wood. After this period it comes little into notice in the history of Scotland. Its owners, the Earls of Mar, often held high offices of trust at Court, and, of course, found it more convenient to reside at Alloa or Stirling. Their baronial mansion was thus, from its situation, exempted from the vicissitudes of faction, which so long agitated the south parts of the kingdom, and its formidable defences secured it from the attacks of the Gordons, Forbesses, and other turbulent tribes of its own neighbourhood.
Soon after the forfeiture of the Earl of Mar, for his share in the Rebellion of 1715, a body of the royalist troops dismantled and partly demolished the noble mansion of his ancestors, and thenceforth it was used as a quarry, whence materials for houses, fences, and the like could be obtained with little trouble.

About the beginning of the present century, it was reduced to nearly its present state.

Is the name of the S.W. [South West] portion of Cothill.

It is said that a great number of graves were visible upon this hillock till some 10 or 12 years ago when the present farmer brough the land under cultivation. Tradition has it that a deadly feud existed between the Laird of Brux and the Laird of Abergeldie and that they agreed to decide their old feud in a combat consisting of an equal number of horse on either side.
[Authorities for spelling] - Mr Hattie, Ground Officer, Glenbucket - the two chiefs agreed to settle the combat between themselves, they engaged & fought manfully for a length of time, but Mowat being blind of an eye & the snow falling heavily at the time; Mowat's other eye got blinded, & the Forbes taking advantage of this treacherously slew Mowat. |
