"The parish of Monymusk is in the Presbytery of Garioch, Synod of Aberdeen. It contains about 10816 Statute Acres and is bounded on the south by the parish of Cluny; on the west, by the parishes of Tough, and Keig; on the north, by the parish of Oyne; and on the north east, and east, by the parishes of Chapel of Garioch, and Kemnay.
The River Don intersects the parish in a south easterly direction, first dividing it from Oyne Parish on the north. The soil is chiefly a light loam, interspersed with fields of a clayey nature. The arable land, lying chiefly on the banks of the Don, is enclosed, well cultivated, and highly embellished with plantations, of which there are upwards of 4.000 acres in the parish. There are no detached portions of this parish nor are there any detached portions of another parish situated within it. |

There seems to be a doubt as to whether the enclosure, within which this chapel stands, is a Grave Yard or not, it is thought, by some, that the fence was erected to preserve the Chapel after it had been become a ruin. |

"A river of Aberdeenshire. It forms a sort of twin-stream to the Dee, and is next to that river in Aberdeenshire as regards at once basin, note and magnitude, and resembles it also in possessing much volume, and much fine scenery, with very little commercial importance; yet differs essentially from it in some great characters, and even presents some striking contrasts. It rises on the skirts of Ben Avon, 6 miles west of Curgarff, amongst the mountains which bound Aberdeenshire on the south west, at the head of Strath-Don, and which divide it from the head of Strath-Deveron in Banffshire. Its source is considerably lower than that of the Dee; the altitude is 1640 feet above sea-level. A great part of its run, though somewhat parallel to the Dee, and at no great distance from it, is through districts much less mountainous, and abounding far in plains and expanded meadows; so that, instead of the impetuosity and the fitfulness of the Dee, it displays a prevailing current of gentleness, calmness, and regularity. Running eastward in a very sinuous career, through the whole breadth of the county, it flows into the German Ocean on the north side of Aberdeen. Its whole length of course is about 62 miles, though in a direct line from its source to its termination, the distance is only 41 miles. In its earliest stretches through the parish of Strathdon, which it divides into two nearly equal parts, it is joined on both sides by 7or 8 burns, separated from each other by considerable hills, and most of them running through deep hollows, and glens. The principal are the Ernan and the Nochtie. All these burns abound with excellent trout; and salmon is even here very frequently found in the Don, at least towards the lower end of this parish. Turning northward, and dividing for a short distance the parish of Glenbucket from part of Migvie, it receives from the latter the Deskry, and from the former the Bucket. Then again flowing eastward, it passes through the parish of Towie; and winding northward, reinforced by other tributaries, round Gorieshill, it at once becomes remarkably enlarged near Westside; after which it resumes its eastern route, dividing various parishes, particularly Forbes and Alford, from the latter of which, on the south, it derives the waters of the Lochel, the most considerable tributary it has yet received. In passing hitherto through the high parts of the district of Alford, the Don flows through a narrow gullet, amongst the western mountains, while its banks are now partly wooded. Perpetually changing its course to the north and even the west, to the east and then through Monymusk parish to the south, the next considerable tributary which there enlarges it is the Ton burn from the south; when immediately it turns to the north again between Kemnay and part of Chapel-Garioch parishes, and arrives at a point a little to the south of the royal burgh of Inverury, where on its northern bank stands the building formerly occupied as the Roman Catholic college of Aquhorties. This point is about 16 miles from the source of the river, and its vicinity constitutes, perhaps the most interesting as well as important part of its whole course. Here at the Bass, a conical mount of considerable elevation standing in the midst of the confluence, it is joined by its principal tributary, the River Urie, from the district of Strathbogie. The Don, here very much increased by the water of the Urie, notwithstanding the previous diversion of a large portion of its waters into the Inverury canal, flows southward from the Bass, between the parish and the low lands of Kintore on the south, and the mountainous part of Keithall with Kinkell on the north. It divides, for a short distance, into two branches, which reunite, enclosing a river-island to the north of the royal burgh of Kintore. Between Fintray and Dyce it is bordered by mountains on both sides, with valuable plantations on the northern or Fintray side. It then runs southward, still dividing the parishes on its line, to Old Machar parish in the freedom of the city of Aberdeen, whence it turns to

River Don Continued [from page 9]
to the east, by the city or old town, to its confluence with the sea, little more than a mile to the northward of the Dee, where it forms a kind of harbour, into which small craft may enter in safety, but where no trade of any importance can be carried on. "About a century ago," says Mr Kennedy in his 'Annals of Aberdeen,' "the channel of the Don near the town was altered, and the stream diverted straight into the sea about a mile further northward than its ancient efflux." In a note he adds, "Probably at some very remote period, Don had continued its former course still further southward down the hollow of the links, till it united with Dee in the harbour, and both together would form one stream into the ocean. Such conjecture is in some measure confirmed by the works of Ptolemy and Richard of Cirencester, there being no such river as Don delineated in their maps, or even mentioned in their tables, while Diva (Dee) and Ituna (Ythan) in the district of the Taixali, are particularly noticed. In the earlier records of the burgh, the river Don is distinguished solely by the name of Aqua Borealis." As this river runs with considerable rapidity during the last 8 miles of its course, and as the rocks at its mouth confine it to a narrow channel, and give it there a gloomy aspect, the idea of its flowing rapidly through a rugged and mountainous country, where no space is left for forming even a commodious road along its banks, is at first induced; but after passing upwards for about a mile beyond the rocky chasm, where was built the spacious, stately and attractive Gothic arch, constituting the celebrated Brig o' Balgownie, and up to whose locality alone the Don is navigable even for small craft, the hills recede so far from the river as to form spacious haughs or level valleys on either side, through which it winds in a slow majestic course. Nor is the prospect here uniform, but agreeably diversified. The hills above Inverury approach close to the river, which seems to have forced its way with difficulty through them; but all at once it opens into a another spacious plain, from which the hills recede on either hand to a great distance, and then close again; and, after another temporary confinement among rocks and hills and woods, the river once more waters another plain of great extent. Such is the general character of the Don, - nowhere rapid, but in general flowing through level fields so little elevated above its usual surface, that, when violent rain falls, it bursts its bounds at once, and covers a great extent of country, which then appears to be an immense body of water interspersed with islands, houses, trees, and other rural objects. Too often on these occasions it commits extensive and calamitous depredations, - sweeping off whole fields of corn, and leaving nothing behind but want and desolation. *** A great part of the haugh-land is now protected by embankments on the lands of Fintray and Wester Fintray, extending to upwards of 6000 ells in length, and protecting from 200 to 300 Scotch acres of very fine rich land, from the river floods. Similar embankments have been made for for the protection of the haugh-lands in most other parts of the river's course."

CHURCH formerly Church of St Mary [Monymusk] |
Church (supposed remains of) Priory |
Mr James Porter
Rev. [Reverend] Thomas Dawson
Rev. [Reverend] Alexander Ogilvie |
063 |
This old edifice is situated on the east side of the village. There is very little information to be gleaned in the neighbourhood concerning it; further than that, it is supposed to have been a Chapel, attached to the Priory, which, according to Buchanan, was founded by Malcolm Canmore, in the 11th Century. In 1825, there was a wing added to the north side it; nine feet taken off the tower; the old windows closed up, and new, and somewhat larger ones put in. The door in the tower, which has not been interfered with, is low, and very narrow; and has all the appearance of Antiquity about it.
"The parish Church stands east side of the Village. The date of its erection is unknown, but it is supposed to have been built in the 11th century when the priory was founded here

by Malcolm Canmore, who, having encamped at the village of Monymusk, vowed, as Buchanan relates, that, if he returned victorious from his expedition to the north, he would devote the village where he lay encamped to St Andrew, the tutelary saint of Scotland. In fulfilment of his vow he, accordingly founded, endowed, and dedicated the Priory of Monymusk, as appears from an old writing in Latin in Monymusk House, bearing to have been extracted from the register of St Andrews, and which, after describing the boundaries of the lands assigned to it, which were ample, concludes to this effect. And thus these are the Marches which King Malcolm bequeathed, on account of a victory granted to them, to God and the Church of St Mary of Monymusk, giving the benediction of God and St Mary to all who preserve the rights of the Church. Of the buildings of the priory no remains now exist, unless the present parish church, which is unquestionably very old, may, as is supposed, have been coeval with, and formed part of them."

"The stone at Monymusk stands close by the public road at the farm of Nether Mains. About fifty years ago it was placed in a field about a mile east of Monymusk House, near the River Don, where it had been from time immemorial, and then it was removed to its present site. In the edition of "Don, a Poem" which was printed in the beginning of this century by Charles Dawson, Schoolmaster of Kemnay, it is said that the stone appears to be the grave-stone of John Aikenwall, who was slain at the battle of Platcock and we are gravely told that the hieroglyphics should be read as follows
"Here lies John Aikenwall, beneath this lang stane -
At the fight of Platcock, his life from him was taen."
Monymusk was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and was the site of an ancient Culdee Monastery. There are two stone circles in the Parish."

"The only other monument of antiquity found in the parish is one figured stone, discovered upwards of 40 years ago in a field near the river, about a mile east of Monymusk House, where it had lain from time immemorial, and was conveyed to the nearest part of the public road, and there fixed in an upright position, where

New Statistical Account
"About forty years ago, a figured stone was discovered in a field near the river, about a mile east of the House of Monymusk, where it had lain from time immemorial, and was, by the order of the late Sir Archibald Grant, conveyed to the nearest part of the public road, where it now stands. The figure of a cross, about four feet high, with rude ornaments cut into it, is distinct, and below the cross is a double circle ornamented. It is supposed to have been set up at first to mark the boundary of the priory lands on that side where it was found; but as that boundary is believed to have extended about a mile farther east, no plausible conjecture can be framed at present as to its original use."
