043 ; 052 | The Parish of Clatt is situated in the Western part of Aberdeenshire and is bounded on the North by Kennethmont Parish on the east by Leslie, west by Auchindoir and Rhynie and on the South by Tullynessle and Forbes Parishes. It is about four miles in length by about three in breadth, and is in the presbytery of Alford and Synod of Aberdeen. More than three fourths of the soil of the Parish is occupied by crops and the remaining portion (i.e. the southern) affords good Mountain pasture for Cattle and sheep. The greatest elevations in the Parish are the Correen and White Hills. In the former Serpentine and granite occur; also a sort of mica slate with occasional green-stone is to be found. The remains of the Town of Clatt is situated nearly in the centre of the Parish and was, about thirty years ago an active little place. The inhabitants thereof at that period being chiefly employed in handloom cotton. There is no portion of this Parish detached, nor portion, or portions of any other parish, enclosed within the boundary of this parish. [continued on page 2] |
