OS1/17/4/71A Parish of Alvie Extracts from New Statistical Account The parish consists of two divisions, separated by the River Spey. The largest and the most populous of those divisions, situated on the north west side of that river may [be considered] a parallelogram. The other division of the parish situated on the opposite side of the Spey, extends from north to south in the form of a rhomboid. The parts of the Grampian Mountains, at which the southern extremity of the parish terminates, form the highest hills in Scotland. The mountains forming the northwest boundary of the parish are considerably lower than the Grampians. [Through] the narrow valley of Glenfeshie, the wind sometimes blows down from the hills in violent gusts, resembling the hurriccanes of tropical climates. There are no springs in this parish that merit particular notice. The only lake is Loch Alvie, if we except Loch Inch, formed by the Spey, the one half og which may be said to be within the parish of Alvie. The length of Loch Alvie, which almost surrounds the glebe, may be computed at a mile, the breadth half a mile; and the greatest depth 65 feet. The Spey is the only river passing through the parish. Its source is the Braes of Badenoch, near the border of Lochaber, at a distance of not less than 30 miles from his place. Its mean breadth may be reckoned at 50 yards; the average depth of the deepest pools at from 10 to 12 feet; and [its]length from its source to Garmouth cannot be less than [....] miles. [The] mountains of this parish are composed mostly of gneiss, [which] is intersected with veins of granite and red porphyry, [of] which there are fine specimens in the Burn of Raitts at Belleville. Limestone is quarried at Dunachton and veins of lead occur in the gneiss in the Burn of Raitts, and at Tyncairn, both on the property of Bellville.

OS1/17/4/71B The late Duchess of Gordon, upwards of 30 years ago, selected for her summer residence, Kinrara, a romantic situation, within less than two miles from the church of Alvie. after her decease the Marquis and Marchioness of Huntly took possession of Kinrara, where for several years they resided annually from the beginning of August to November; It is now let for shooting quarters to Sir George Sitwell Bar. According to Mr. Shaw, in his history of the province of Moray, the Barony of Dunachton came into the possession of the Laird of Macintosh about the year 1500, by his marrying the heiress, daughter of the Baron of Dunachton. Here Macintosh had a castle, which was burnt in 1689 and never rebuilt. South Kinrara and Dalnavest, the remaining part of Macintosh's property in this parish, commonly called Davochs of the Head, are a part of the compensation given for the head of William, the 15th Laird of Macintosh,who was beheaded by order of the Earl of Huntly in the year 1550, when he was paying a friendly visit at Huntly Castle. Antiquities._ There is a number of barrows or tumuli on each side of the high road, nearly opposite to the manse; curiosity prompted some of the neighbouring gentlemen to open the most conspicuous one, where were found the bones of a human body entire,and in order, with two hart horns across. Contiguous to the barrows or tumuli mentioned there is an extensive plain on which a bloody battle is said to have been fought, but with respect to the cause of the battle, the time when it was fought, the clan or clans of which the conflicting armies were composed, and the leaders that commanded them, tradition is silent. At Delfour are to be seen the remains of a Druidical cairn, enclosed by a circle of large stones closely set up on end 55feet in diameter. Within this circle, and concentric to it, is another circle, similarly enclosed, with stones in size, 25feet in diameter. At the distance of 25feet west from the Cairn stands an Obelisk Examiners replies to ea[ch] of the underlined portions Kinrara -- written Barony of Dunachton -- Dunachton written a castle, which was burnt in 1689 -- The present Dunachton Mains is built on the site see descriptive Remarks South Kinrara, Dalnavert -- both written Davochs of the Head -- description only number of barrows or tumuli -- See descriptive Remarks and [?Trace] were found the bones of a body entire -- See descriptive Remarks and [?Trace] extensive plain on which a bloody battle -- See descriptive Remarks and [?Trace] At Delfour -- See trace & descriptive remarks Druidical cairn -- See trace & descriptive remarks is another circle -- [ no reply] At the distance of 25feet west from the cairn stands an Obelisk -- Shown on trace & descri[ption]

Wether this obelisk had any connexion with with the [id]olatry practised at the cairn, or whether it was placed to [m]ark the grave of some distinguishes personage, is not []. Such, however, is the veneration in which these relics [] antiquity are held, that although the cairn and the obelisk [s]tand in the middle of a field, and occasion a considerable interruption to the operation of the plough, no attempt has been made to remove the one or the other. Within a clump of larch trees, planted about 1/2 a mile S.W. from [the] house of Belleville, and near to the public road, a beautiful []able obelisk stands, on which is sculptured a bust exhibiting a very striking likeness of the translator of Ossian. On the summit of TorAlvie, a monument has been erected by his Grace the present Duke of Gordon, with a beautiful brass plate on the side fronting Kinrara. On this plate is an inscription commemorative of the Officers of the 42nd and 92nd Regiments who fell at Waterloo. Concerning the Cave at Raitts near Belleville, of which the excavation amounted to 145 solid yards, was artificially built round with dry stones, and covered on the top with large gray flags by a desperate band of depredators, who instigated by implacable Revenge against the Macphersons, they secretly dug the cave which is called by after their name, "Uaigh Clannmhicgillenaoidh as a place of concealment, from which they occasionally sallied forth in the night time to steal and to slaughter the cattle of of the Mac[]ons, wherever they could be found.

As the church in a short time must be rebuilt, perhaps the more central situation of St Drostan's Chapel ought to be professed.
