A parish in Aberdeenshire, bounded on the North by the parish of Glenbucket and Banffshire on the East by Towie and Logie Coldstone, South by Glenmuick Tullich and Braemar and Crathie parishes and on the West by Banffshire. It is of semi-circular shape, and like many other parishes in Aberdeenshire and throughout the North of Scotland, Strathdon has a very high altitude. The Cultivated grounds along the banks of the Don will be upwards of Seven hundred feet above the level of the Sea, while the

the fields reclaimed from the Surrounding hills, cannot be estimated under nine hundred feet. But although the elevation is even higher than many of the neighbouring parishes, the soil And climate are admirably adapted for the cultivation of many of the cereal and green crops, which are presently grown in the neighbouring districts. In Strathdon the character and Composition of the soil are very varied: some parts are siliceous or flinty, some aluminous or clayey; while others are calcareous and mossy; but the greater part of all the arable land in the parish is a fine, free, loamy soil of considerable depth, and is very suitable for the production of grass, turnips and straw. The only Antiquities in the parish worthy of note are Culquhanny Castle, (beside which is a well conducted Inn) Doune of Invernochty or "Doune," and the Castle of Corgarff. Two Erd houses were discovered on the Newe Estate in 1859 and 1864. The Erd house found in 1859 is situated at the farm steading of Buchaam, and is a good specimen of a primitive dwelling; it measures about 60 feet in length & is well preserved being kept under lock and key. the other is situated in the garden of Castle Newe; but is not in

such a good state of preservation as the one at Buchaam: a great many of the stones composing it having been used for building purposes. The original name of this parish was Invernochty, so called from
the church being situated at one period, it is said, at the confluence of the Nochty and Don. A portion of Tarland parish is situated in this parish, and at the junction of the Bucket with Don, Glenbucket intersects Strathdon for about three quarters of a mile, and where the Deskry falls into the Don, Migvie juts in about three miles from the church. Besides the strath of the Don, there are five or six glens wild and sequestered, lying nearly at right angles with the main strath. One spring in Corgarff is noted for its capaciousness; during the whole year, it discharges a volume of water sufficient to turn a Mill wheel. the burn of Loinherrie is entirely supplied by it. Its size, accordingly, is nearly the same at its source as when, after its course through its little glen it joins the Don. The Don rises at the Confines of Aberdeen and Banffshire, and runs for nearly 2 miles through peat moss before it assumes the

the appearance of an ordinary Burn. then augmented by the Vannick and other mountain streams. the most considerable of these are the Conry, Ernan, Carvy, Nochty, Deskry, and Bucket at the intersection of Glenbucket already noticed, the Kindy also on the eastern boundary of the Parish. Doune a short way above the confluence of the Nochty and Don there is a very remarkable abruptly conical mound about 60 feet in height from the bottom of the Ditch, 970 feet in circumference at the base & 562 feet at the top. It is of an oval form, and the flat Surface on the top measures about half an acre. It has been regularly fortified by a moat 16 feet deep and 26 feet wide at the bottom which has been supplied with Water by the stream Bardock. It has evidently been one of those gravelly eminences and probably the cutting of the Wet ditch and the more regular formation of the sides is all that is artificial about it. Its situation and figure pointed it out as a place on which to erect a stronghold. All around the top the foundations of buildings are visible. there is no account of this remnant of antiquity. Some vague tradition

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. |

Sh. [Sheet] 59. -- Allt Tobair Fhuair 1st. Col. O. N. Bk. [First Column Ordnance Name Book]
Allt Tobar Fuar 2nd. Col. O. N. Bk. [Second Column Ordnance Name Book]
The general form for such names as this
in Highland Counties is Allt an Tobair.
Fhuair. Tobar Fuar = cold Well and a
stream taking its name from it. should be
Allt an Tobair Fhuair. also Fuarain Bàn
or Fuaran Fuar follow the same rule i.e.
Allt an Fhuarain Fhuair or Bhàin (Cold well or spring)
Tobar Fuar = a mas. [masculine] noun & its adjective.
The adjective agrees with its noun in num. gen. & case [number, gender & case].
hence Tobar Fuar and Allt an Tobair Fhuair
If the corrupted form is to be adopted I would
suggest _ Burn of Tobar-fuar.
Why the natives reject the correct form is plain. i.e.
to make the name easier to pronounce for English
speaking persons. and this is the reason why
corrupted forms are so much used in this County.
Tobar Fuar is not inserted on 59. but Tobar
Fuar on sh. [sheet] 68. page 102. Strathdon Ph. [Parish] seems
to be the celebrated spring and has no connection
with this burn. See description in N. Bk. [Name Book]
Allt ChuirnDeirg Stream of the red cairn or hill
on this same page =16. The gen. [genitive] article omitted
in the same way as Tobar Fuar.
Allt_Tobair Fhuair } Allt an Tobair Fhuair
Allt_Chùirn Deirg } Allt a' Chùir Deirg (correct form.)
Sh. [Sheet] 59. Allt a' Chreachain Stream of the stony or rocky surface &c.
Allt a' Creachainn or Creachain, is quite
a mistake or oversight, the genitive artice [article]
a' asperates the name in the genitive case.

This name is applied to where the old Millitary road crosses the water-shed between Banffshire & Aberdeenshire. Tradition says that a Blacksmith had commited some crimes in Invernesshire, and was banished from the County, His punishment was that his budget was put upon horseback, and ordered to travel till it fell off the horses back, which it did in crossing the pass of the Height. And it is said that he settled down at this place, and found employment in dressing slates. And hence the name Leac Gobhainn.

a conspicuous range of hill, rising to a conic top, situated abt. [about] 30 Chains E. S. E. [East South East] of Ben Newe and extending northward to the Glenbucket parish boundary. It seems rather questionable whether this name is derived from the word 'Muil' s. [signification] a promontary or 'Meall' a lump, a knob, a heap, a hill, &c very probably the latter (?) which is more natural to the shape of ground or outline; Then the name should be Mealbeg - in preference to that given on the Estate Map _ It is also said, what represents a nose or promontary should frm [from] the original be 'Mul' as is frequently shown on the Map of Scotland Mull of Cantire Mull of Calloway &c in either case Mill is evidently incorrect as a rule _ 'Hill' is written after by Sr. [Sapper] Dickson's Order.

A very merited article is given on the word 'Dun' with reference to upwards of a dozn. [dozen] of the earliest languages known. |

This name as in 1st Col [First Column] is rather fanciful.
Gille Bàn (fair lad) is always plain or without
the h in the name. "Coille Bhàn" is a very likely name
(light cold. [coloured] wood)

"Tradition Says Culquhanny Castle was built by Forbes of Towie (a cadet of the Putachie family who married the heiress of Towie) early in the Sixteenth century, but it was never finished" [vide] statistical account 1843 page 543. This building evidently has been intended for a stronghold, as it is all arched over and made bombproof & having loop holes &c. It is now in a very dilapidated state, the ground floor and part the first floor is all that remains at present, and the ground floor is now used as a Cellar or Store room From the appearance of the ground it would readily be supposed that there had formerly been a moat around this building. but if it had been completed or used as such, cannot be assertained it is now filled up |

"Doune, a short way above the confluence of the Nochty and Don, there is a very remarkable abruptly Conical mound about 60 feet in height from the bottom of the ditch 970 feet in Circumference at the base, and 562 feet at the top. It is of an oval form, and the flat Surface on the top measures about half an acre It has been regularly fortified by a moat 16 feet deep and 26 feet wide at the bottom, which has been Supplied with water from the Stream Bardock, It has evidently been one of those gravelly eminences already mentioned, and probably the cutting of the wet ditch, and the more regular formation of the Sides is all that is artificial about it. Its situation and figure pointed it out as a place on which to erect a stronghold. All around the top the foundations of buildings are visible, There is no account of this remnant of antiquity. Some vague tradition states 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 from Deeside 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" vide Statistical account 1843 Page 543 &c
In 1855 Mr A Walker, Gardener of Newe. made some excavations here, and found at the bottom of the moat, what evidently had been the drawbridge, formerly used, two large pieces of timber about. 28 feet long. by 18 inches square of black oak. not likely to have grown in this locality. The main entrance or gateway was also made visible and Some foundations of buildings on the Summit. A stone wall appears to have been erected around the top, and the house &c in the interior, an iron key and a Small dirk. about 6 or 8 inches long. were also found at the bottom of the moat at the date mentioned. |

Note. This object is very similar to the "Bass" at Inverurie, also in this County. It probably had on its summit one of those 14th century wooden castles, originally, called "lignese ministeries" in early writers. The remains now to be traced on it are of much later erection. In my opinion it has no connection at all with the Romans. [Signed] E.H. Courtney Capt. R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] |

Some Gaelic authorities would write the above names

Mhinn, Easg nam Meann, and Coire Creag Mhinn.
but to keep the names in Gaelic as near as possible
to local pronunciation the form in 1st col [column]
is retained, no doubt.
The correspondence paper on these names is not
in favour of the asperated form of h.
The asperated form in such names is in accord
with Gaelic rule & usage. If local authorities
insist on the corrupted or mixed form - Craig Meann
Clach Meann, Burn of Clach Meann, Esk na Meann,
and Corrie of Craig Meann perhaps had better
be adopted.

Castle of Corgarff Statistical Account of Aberdeenshire
"It is supposed to have been built by some of the Earls of Mar for a hunting seat. During the feuds between the Gordons and Forbeses, it was burned down in 1571 by Adam Gordon of Auchendown or some of his officers and in it Margaret Campbell, daughter of Campbell of Calder, together with her children and servants, 27 in number, were cruelly burned to death. Having been afterwards rebuilt, it was purchased by Government in 1746 from Mr Forbes of Skellater, and for several years thereafter 15 or 20 men were stationed in it. From 1827 to 1831 it was garrisoned by a Captain, Subaltern, and 56 men, to support the civil authorities in the suppression of Smuggling."

Corgarf or Curgarf, a wild mountainous district in the upper part of the parish of Strathdon, about 8 or 9 miles in length, and well known to sportsmen for excellent shootings. There is a missionary stationed here, who has under his charge about 690 people; a considerable portion of the inhabitants of the district are Roman Catholics.
Church built in 1836: sittings 350. The mission is supported by Royal County. Corgarf castle, supposed to have been originally built by one of the Earls of Mar, is a millitary station on the road from Edinburgh to Fort George; 21½ miles distant from Braemar.
The present erection is a small oblong building of four stories, with wings, and surrounded by a wall. It was purchased by Government from Forbes of Skellater, in 1746.
The old Castle of Corgarf, which stood on the same site, was burnt by Sir Adam Gordon in 1551, when 27 persons, among whom were the wife and children of Alexander Forbes, perished in the flames. Subsequent to this tragical affair, a meeting for reconciliation took place between a select number of the heads of the two houses, in the hall of an old castle, in these parts probably Dumminor. After much argument, the difference being at length made up, and a reconciliation effected, both parties sat down to a feast in the hall, provided by the Forbes's chief. The eating was ended, and the parties were at their drink, - the clansmen being of equal numbers, and so mixed as had been arranged, that, every Forbes had a Gordon seated at his right hand. "Now said Gordon of Huntly to his neighbour chief, "as this business has been so satisfactorily settled, tell me if it had not been so, what it was your intention to have done." There would have been bloody work, bloody work." said Lord Forbes - "and we would have had the best of it.

[Continued from page 133]
I will tell you: See we are mixed one and one, Forbeses and Gordon. I had only to give a sign by the stroking down of my beard, thus and every Forbes was to have drawn the Skein from under his left arm, and stabbed to the heart his right hand man; and as he spoke, he suited the sign to the word, and stroked down his flowing beard 'God Almighty'! exclaimed Huntly, 'what is this', for in a moment a score of skeins were out, and flashing in the light of the pine-torches held behind the guests. In an other moment they were buried in as many hearts; for the Forbeses whose eyes constantly watched their chief, mistaking this involuntary motion in the telling of his story for the agreed sign of death, struck their weapons into the bodies of the unsuspecting Gordons. The Chiefs looked at each other in silent consternation. At length Forbes said 'This is a sad tragedy we little expected, but what is done, cannot be undone, and the blood that now flows on the floor of Drumminor will just help to slacken the auld fire of Corgarf."

As this name is derived from

[Maol-Charrach] This is very doubtful. Meil is generally = meal.
Charrach I suspect must go with Tom a Charraigh & perhaps Forbrigs.

If Hill is to be retained I would suggest

that Hill crept into this name later on and
that Càrn Dubh in two words is the original

Memo. for revision of the 6. inch & 1/2500 Maps:
The pencil notes in this Book are by Mr James
McDonald, The Farm, Huntly, wherever they are
initalled "J McD". He is the best authority on the
names of Aberdeenshire, - & his remarks if any alternation
is made should be generally followed, especially as they
tend generally towards restoring the names as originally collected.
This District is not now Gaelic speaking.
Other un-initialled pencil Remarks are by Mr
Carpenter formerly Gaelic Examiner for the Ordnance Survey.
And the Remarks in Ink on Slips attached to
the leaves are by Mr A Macdonald Examiner in OS's branch
who is the present Gaelic Examiner for the O. [Ordnance] Survey. They
generally give the correct Gaelic orthography of the
names; but I do not think any alterations
should be made in this direction in the
names of this district.
