It is bounded by the German Ocean. and by the parishes of Lonmay, Strichen, Tyrie and Fraserburgh. It's length south-westward, or measured from the coast direct inland, is about 7 miles; and its breadth expands near the south west end to 4 miles, but averages everywhere else about 1½ mile. The coast partly flat and sandy, and partly consisting of low rocks, commences 2 miles south of the town of Fraserburgh, runs out into a headland called Cairnbulg point, and altogether has an extent of 2¾ miles. The rivulet of Philorth drains nearly the whole parish, and before falling into the sea, runs nearly 3 miles on the boundary with Fraserburgh. Mormond Hill is partly within the south-west limits; and both its declivities, and the summits and sides of other high grounds in its vicinity: are bleak and barren; but the lands along the Philorth are low and in general tolerably productive. Limestone is plentiful: and, on the estate of Auchiries, it is worked, and is of excellent quality. Cairnbulg Castle, now in ruins has walls of great thickness, and appears to have been a place of considerable strength. Inverallochy Castle, also in ruins belonged to the once powerful house of Comyn, and was probably built by one of that family. Mormond House is a modern mansion, embosomed in wood. There are ten landowners. The parish is traversed by the roads from Fraserburgh to Peterhead and Aberdeen. Assessed property in 1865. £8,615.9.2.

There are many little cairns in this muir, which seem to be the burial places of common soldiers slain there, as the great Cairns appear to be monuments raised upon the chiefs that have there fallen. There is no probable tradition about these Cairns, nor history that I Know of that mentions them: but I shall tell you my conjecture and the reason for it. Some years ago I read, either in Hector Boethins or Dr [Doctor] Abercrombys Scots Worthies, I have forgot which, that the Danes, landing upon the Buchan Coast, and being by the Scots defeat at Cruden, the remains of their army, instead of taking Ship again, endeavoured to Join the colony of their countrymen who were settled in Murray. Now it is probable their March would be this way, because in their distress, they would [Continued p. 6] |

"About two miles to the north-west we reach the bridge which crosses the water of Philorth, on the old road from Peterhead to Fraserburgh.
About a quarter of a mile above the the bridge, on the east bank of the stream, stands the old Castle of Cairnbulg. (Gordon). It is placed on a Knoll, which has, at some former time, probably been surrounded by a moat, and is at the distance of about three quarters of a mile from the sea. The square tower at the west angle is nearly all that now remains of this once proud baronial stronghold. It has evidently been a structure of an imposing magnitude. The lands of Cairnbulg, with the Castle, formed part of the extensive domains of the Comyns, Earls of Buchan. and were, with the other estates of that family confiscated to the Crown in 1306. King Robert the Bruce, however, with a generosity not always the accompaniment of success, made a grant of half the territories of the proscribed Earl to John, son of the Earl of Ross, who had married Margaret Comyn, the niece of Comyn. Having no family, Ross disponed these lands, by charter, in 1316. dated at Inverness, to his brother Hugh, Earl of Ross; and failing him to Hugh his second son, and after him, to Walter Leslie, who had married the eldest daughter. They were severally designated of Philorth, until the year 1375, when that barony, including Cairnbulg, came into the possession of Sir Alexander Fraser of Cowie, by his marriage with the youngest daughter, and co-heiress of the Earl, and the sister of Euphemia, Countess of Ross. By this marriage Sir Alexander acquired the valuable estates of Philorth, Pitsligo, Aberdour, and others, in the counties of Aberdeen and Banff. The Frasers, for two centuries, seemed to have made Cairnbulg their principal residence; but whether the most ancient part of the castle - the Square Tower was erected by the Comyns, The Rosses, or the Frasers, cannot now be determined. The other portions were built about the year 1545. by Sir Alexander Fraser, the eleventh Laird of that family. whose grandson, and (Over) [Continued page 26] |

and successor in 1619, sold the Castle and lands of Cairnbulg to Andrew Fraser of Stonywood,
father of the first Lord Fraser of Muchalls. It would appear that he who thus disposed of
the estates, had succeeded to them on the death of his grandfather, which took place
on the 12th of April 1569. In the following year (1570), he erected the castle at Kinnairds Head
where he resided till his death, in 1623. Spalding, in his History of the Troubles in Scotland
in 1644, mentions the Castle of Cairnbulg twice, and, in both instances, in connection with
its then proprietor, the Lord Fraser of Muchalls, a strenuous supporter of the Solemn League
and Covenant. In the year 1703. Charles, the last Lord Fraser, sold the castle and estate to
Colonel John Buchan; and in 1739, it came, by purchase, into the possession of Alexander
Aberdein Esq. whose son, in 1775. disposed of it to George, the third Earl of Aberdeen, who,
at his death, in 1801, bequeathed it to the present proprietor. John Gordon, Esq. of Cairnbulg
There is a remarkably fine fascia under the parapet of the tower; and another rather
singular feature, is a hole piercing the lintel of the principal entrance, and running
through the heart of the wall to a chamber above. The purpose for which this was intended
must be, in a great measure, conjectural. It may have been to telegraph information to or from
above; or it may have been to defend the door from the assaults of the besieger.
It is to be regretted that the restoration of this baronial residence had become impracticable
before it came into the possession of its present proprietor, otherwise we
might have hoped to have seen it once more in much of its pristine stateliness
and beauty. We can hardly imagine a more animated scene or finer view than that
which a walk round the battlemented Tower of Cairnbulg Castle affords. At a certain
season of the year hundreds of herring boats may be seen shooting out from the harbour of
Fraserburgh: and an occasional steamer with its long line of level smoke, ploughing its
way down the Moray Firth. Numerous vessels scattered over The bosom of the ocean - their
sails, here and there, bright with the rays of the sun, elsewhere deep in the shadows and
dark as pitch. The gracefully curved sea-beach: the Water of Philorth creeping under the walls [No. 2 [ ]]

Pratt's History of Buchan. |
003 |
All that now remains of this fine old Castle is the ruins of the outside walls. Dr. [Doctor] Pratt in his History of Buchan, page 141. 1st Ad. Says "From hence we approach the Castle of Invelallochy a noble and picturesque ruin, having at a distance more the appearance of an ecclesiastical fabric than a feudal fortress. It is, however, on nearer inspection, a bare and desolate ruin, its great bulk being its chief feature. It belonged to the powerful house of Comyn, and was probably built by one of that family, There is no date to the building, and no satisfactory account can be obtained of its origin and fortunes. It is said that, in the latter end of the last century, a stone was discovered in the vicinity, which had obviously been placed over the entrance to the castle. It bore the sculptured arms of the Comyns, with the following legend:-
"I Jurdun Comyn, [indwaller] here.
Gat this house and lands for biggin the Abbey of Deer." |

He was bred to religion from his childhood, but being grown up * went over to Ireland for his farther improvement among the clergy, who were then famous there. By them he was made a bishop, and, returning into Scotland, took into his company certain Priests and deacons, whom he had before instructed, and with whom he travelled over the Country, as a Pilgrim, labouring indefatigably for the Salvation of Souls. Wheresoever he Came, he visited the Sick (and, it is said, often cured them) and baptised and confirmed where there was need. He also consecrated Several Churches, and particularly Rathen, which was afterward dedicated to his own memory: and, in that parish there is a den, Said to have been his hermitage, and to this day Called St Eddren's Slack.
