| PARISH OF STRATHDON | Parish of Strathdon Continued | [continued from page 4] tradition states that the church originally stood here, which merely rests on the former name of the parish being Invernochtie. It has been a place of considerable strength in a remote age. Chalmers mentions traces of a Roman iter [road] from Dee-side, which would point precisely in this direction. The traces of Science in fortification would support the Conjecture, that it might be a Roman Fort to preserve the line of communication across the Country. The House of Newe is a handsome modern edifice built in 1831 of Kildrummy freestone. the House of Candacraig is a mixture of the Elizabethean and Scotch manor house, there are 8 or 10 quarries of limestone which are regularly worked for the supply of the parish, and to meet a considerable demand from Kildrummy and Towie. there is no village in the parish unless 9 Cottages at Heughhead may be called one. "There is a portion of this parish detached which is bounded on the north by Cabrach parish East by a portion of Towie detached and Towie parish South by a portion of Tarland and Migvie detached and on the East by Glenbucket Parish. |
