Sources of Information about Glen Nochty
'Pre-1855 Gravestone Inscriptions in Upper Donside' (Upper Donside MIs) edited by Alistair and Margaret Beattie and published by the Scottish Genealogical Society in 1989 as well as Strathdon covers Glenbucket, Towie and other downstream parishes - also available from the Family History Society
'Farquharson Genealogies' (FG) by A M Mackintosh, 1914 originally published in several volumes, prints the Broughdearg manuscript of 1733 and updates it down to about 1900. Copies are available at least in Aberdeen Central Library (in the reserve stock reference OS 929.2 F22), in the Scottish Room of Edinburgh Central Library and in the Inverness Reference Library.
'The House of Forbes' (HoF) by Alistair and Henrietta Tayler, Third Spalding Club vol 8, 1937 provides a masterly genealogy of the landed members of this family but does not cover their numerous tenants of the same name. Copies of this and the volumes of the Spalding Club series referred to below are available in eg Aberdeen Central Library (and, as it happens, in the Birmingham Reference Library).
'The Jacobite Cess Roll for the County of Aberdeen in 1715' (Cess Roll) by A and H Tayler, Third Spalding Club vol 3, 1932 (Aberdeen Central Library etc) is another masterly piece of work with notes on property ownership in the following years.
'The Valuation of the County of Aberdeen for the Year 1667' (Valuation) by A and H Tayler, Third Spalding Club vol 4, 1933 (Aberdeen Central Library etc) covers some but not all of the same ground.
Aberdeen University Historic Collections (formerly Kings College Special Collections) include a variety of estate records touching upon Glen Nochty, including the very well indexed Duff House Papers (MS 3175). The author of this site is very grateful for the preservation of these papers and the provision of access to them.
'The Land o' Lonach' by Ron Winram, Aberdeen, 1986 is a well illustrated softback and very informative as regards Strathdon in the Nineteenth Century - previously available from the Family History Society but now believed to be out of print.
'Historical papers relating to the Jacobite period, 1699-1750', edited by James Allardyce, New Spalding Club vol 14, 1895 (Aberdeen Central Library etc) includes a transcript of The Bond of 1699 for Peaceable Behaviour.
'Place Names of West Aberdeenshire' by James Macdonald, New Spalding Club vol 21, 1899 (Aberdeen Central Library etc) is useful.
'Every-day Life on an Old Highland Farm 1769-1782' by I F Grant is based on detailed Account Books for Dunachton in Badenoch, Speyside and so with the Statistical Account of 1792 provides the best evidence available on the agriculture of Glen Nochty.
The Leopard Magazine has published articles on eg The Lonach Society and the MacHardys.
'Land of The Lost' by Robert Smith (1997) includes some Glen Nochty material.
'Pine Trees and The Sky' by Jean Cantlie Stewart (1998) is mostly about Corgaff.
