Old Deer kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Deer, later of Buchan, and the synod of Aberdeen. The ancient church of Deer, erected in 1788, formerly belonged to the Abbey of Deer and was dedicated to St Drostan. It originated as a pre-Reformation parish. Old Deer absorbed the parish of Fetterangus in 1618. In 1622 the parish of Auchreddy, later called New Deer, was disjoined from Deer (which became known as Old Deer).
