Abernethie Parish
Extracts from the Revd [Reverend] Mr Shaw's History of the Province of Moray dated 1775
Abernethie and Kincardine united in one parish, but distinct
places of worship. The ministry has a glebe in each. Abernethie
was dedicated to St. George. There was a Chapel in Conigess
in the east end of the Parish; and another 2 miles above the
Church, on the bank of Nethie
The Barony of Abernethie was part of the estate of Cumming
Lord Badenoch, where he had a house or fort near the
Church (see Military History)
Let it be observed, that the Davacks of Gartenmore,
Rymore and Tulloch in Abernethie, and the Davacks
of Tullochgorum, Clourie and Cour in Inverallan,
were a part of the Lordship of Badenoch.
In the east end of the parish is Conegess; and half a
mile above Conegass, is a bridge of 4 arches over the Spey
built on the military road in 1754. A mile further up is
Achernack for about 300 years the residence of the Head
of the Clan Allan. About the year 1560, James Grant of
Achernack had a family of eight sons, whereof Duncan
was heir: A 2nd Gregor founded the family of Gartinmore;
A 3rd James was ancestor of Achterblair, now Carron;
a 4th John, was the first of the Grants of Easter Lathendie
and Burnside; a 5th Allan, was ancestor of Malarchard[?];
a 6th Mungo of Conegess; a 7th Robert of Novie; and
the 8th Andrew. Near to Achernack is a passage boat.
