This Parish, like many others in Aberdeenshire, and throughout the north of Scotland, has a very high altitude, and the general appearance of the surface from the north running southwards is everywhere hilly, admitting of very little extent of plain; some of the hills attain a very considerable elevation having an altitude of between 1300 and 1400 feet. The Parish is bounded on the north by Leslie and Clatt, on the east by Keig, on the south by Alford and on the west by Auchindoir and Kildrummy Parishes. Its length from North to South is about four and from east to west about six miles. The cultivated grounds along the banks of the River Don, are upwards of 700 feet above the sea level, while the fields reclaimed from the surrounding hills, cannot be estimated under 900 or 1000 feet. About three fourths of the Parish is occupied with crops, and the remainder with wood and mountain pasture. The soil varies with the strata on which it is superimposed and in general it is dry but infertile. In the north west corner of the Parish mica-schist is

is the prevailing formation and is worked as a pavement flag. Argillaceous schist, Granite and green stone are also found in this Parish, and in the north west part of the parish the Lime-stone formation prevails. Quarries of a coarse roofing slate are occasionally wrought, but hitherto no fossils have as yet been discovered. A grey granite quarry has recently been disclosed, situated about a mile north from the Bridge of Alford, and gives employment at the present time to upwards of a score of men. Ultimately this will be an extensive quarry. The stone produced is good and polishes well. "The Parish is traversed southward by the road from Huntly to Kincardine-O'Neil. and westward by that from Aberdeen to Strathdon. A substantial and recently built bridge across

The only trout stream of any note in the Parish is the Esset Burn, which is formed by the junction of Whitestone and Blacklatch Burns, a little south of Correen Quarry. "The Esset" (throughout its course) "drives nine or ten corn and thrashing mills, but it is subject at remote intervals to overwhelming floods." Gazetteer of Scotland.
The site of General Baillies Encampment is supposed to have been in the Glen of Carnach, Leslie Parish, and not in this parish as stated in the Statistical Account: but the General formed his men in line of battle at Millhill in this parish and crossed the River Don near Mountgarrie when he engaged Montrose's Army on 2nd July 1645. and which led to the defeat of General Baillie's Army. A Captain Cook fell in this engagement

Engagement near to Little John's Length and a large cairn of stones was raised to mark the spot, but in the progress of Cultivation this Cairn was removed, in the doing of which four square thin stones were found placed in such a position as to resemble a stone Cist, but nothing was found therein. In this neighbourhood numerous flint arrow heads have been found and near to Little John's Length an Ornamental Urn was found a few years ago, containing unctuous matter and calcined bones, but unfortunately it was broken to pieces by the plough striking against it, where the Urn was found, a necklace composed of light sort of clay or stone, and ornamented, resembling a Roman Catholic's Rosary, was also discovered; this is in the possession of the Tenant of Newton farm.

Great numbers of flint arrow heads have been found from time to time in this Parish when improving the land, and considering the number discovered not a particle of metallic substance was found adhering to any of them. In the Statistical Account of this parish, dated 1843. & at page 449.

The upright stones were mostly gone; but it was evident that they had enclosed a circle of about fifty feet diameter. The upright stones were on the top of the bank from the circle in a southeast direction, an artificially paved road could be traced to the distance of at least six hundred yards through a bog, which at the farther end, was about six yards wide, but near twenty yards when it approached within fifty yards of the circle; and here the paving was covered with ashes. The stones of the pavement were not squared; but very neatly fitted into each other. About fifty yards above the circle there

The school and school house, are separate buildings which were erected about 10 years ago, and do credit to the public spirit of the heritors. The Schoolmaster enjoys the benefit of the Dick bequest." at page 444. "The Estate of Terpersie formerly belonged to a cadet of the house of Gordon.

Mr Coutts, Farmer, Warrackston
Mr John Smith, Farmer, Hillcroft
So spelled in "Guide to Donside" Page 66. |
052 |
This name applies to eight ancient abodes; they are all of a circular form, & measure about three yards and a half diameter, one or two of them measure a little more. Within the circle there is a depth from the original surface of about two feet, and the ground is so soft within this circle that I could easily thrust my walking stick up to the handle in the earth. They have never been excavated, and there is no appearance of any entrance into the earth, the grass and heath through course of time having concealed it. This has evidently been a village, but a more sterile & desert looking place at that time could not have been found in Aberdeenshire, and even yet it is grand in desolation. The houses are situated on the slope of a hill; evidently for shelter.

"From the circle in a Southeast direction, an artificial paved road Could be traced to the distance of at least Six hundred yards through a bog, which, at the further end, was about Six yards wide, but near twenty yards when it approached within fifty yards of the circle, and here the paving was covered with ashes. The stones of the pavement were not squared, but very neatly fitted into each other" vide - Statistical Account. 1843. Page 449 -
Although stated here to lead in a "Southeast direction" no information can be obtained now to that effect, nor has any vestige been seen within the memory of the oldest inhabitant in the neighbourhood to indicate its course in that direction, but it is believed to have gone in the direction of another "stone Circle" which shows it leading in a northeast direction |

Is the name of a conspicuous hill the Summit of which is situated on Boundary of the parishes of Tullynessle and Kildrummy, and about 1¾ mile SSW [South South West] of the 30. Mile Stone of the County Road from Aberdeen. The hill is under modern plantation to the top Tradition Says that in this district on both Sides of the Don River was a large Forest of oak, ash &c., the north side of the Don being called Littlewood the South Big Wood viz. in Gaelic. The latter having retained pretty well its ancient Gaelic name. Gaelic for Forest, Plantation or Wood is "Choill". Great or Big is "Mhor" viz The Big Wood "Coillemhor", Coill'mhor sounds Koil-e-vor or nearly so To modify the name from its modern corruption it would be necessary to change the letter a to o, adopting the spelling "Coillevor" for the name |

A stream which issues about a ¼ of a mile E [East] of the top of Collievar Hill the upper portion of which forms the boundary between the parishes of Tullynessle & Alford, and enters the River Don a little below Kirkton of Forbes. Tradition says the Burn derived its name from Dugald Forbes a Highway Man or cateran. who used the close woods of the upper district of the stream as a hiding place, and that his Father induced him to meet him at Forbes Church, where he was stabbed to death by the Father. Dugald is interred in the Church yard of Forbes near the North Eeast Angle of the Church, where two square stones stand to mark the spot. Dugald in Gaelic sounds nearly "Doo' hill`Dô-el etc.
"Caillevar, on the opposite side of of the river is about 1350 feet above the level of the Sea".
