001 ; 002 ; 006 ; 007 | A Parish situated in the eastern division of the County of Aberdeen, it is bounded on the North by the Moray Frith; on the east and South-east by the Parishes of Pitsligo & Tyrie, on the South by the Parish of New Deer and on the West by the Parishes of King Edward & Gamrie, the latter being Situated in the County of Banff. "The name of the Parish seems to be derived from a small rivulet, which falls into the Sea a few hundred yards below the Manse. The term Aber in Gaelic Signifying a mouth or opening. Aberdour may here have been applied to the mouth or outlet of the Dour. There are three farms at the South east extremity completely cut off from the rest of the Parish of Aberdour by that of Tyrie. Some Suppose that these farms were originally grazings for the Cattle belonging to the tenants upon the sea coast. The Parish Church stands at the Northern extremity of the Village of New Aberdour, fronting the High Street, and is very conveniently situated for the greater part of the population. * * The Church was erected in 1818 and is in good repair, it was built to contain 800, but will if well packed accommodate 1000."
