Place Names in Strathdon

Interpreting the variety of spellings in the Old Parish registers (and in later documents too) requires some imagination. Also it needs to be kept in mind that, until boundary changes in 1891or 1892, two parts of Tarland parish (marked T1/S and T3/S in the Parish column below) were enclosed within Strathdon, and that Glenkindie (marked S/Tow) was in Strathdon parish until it became part of Towie.  As a finding aid, places in the index below are also located within the following 'localities', some of them ancient and some modern:

 

 

Going down the Don Allargue  Glens North of the Don Glen Ernan
Corgarff        Glen Nochty

Skellater   Glen Kindie

Candacraig
