Kirkton of Fetteresso

The Kirkton of Fetteresso is a well preserved village near Stonehaven, Scotland. [United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map Landranger 45, Stonehaven and Banchory, 1:50,000 scale] Within the planning area of Kincardine and Mearns within Aberdeenshire, this village contains many very old stone residential structures as well as the Church of St. Ciarans and its associated graveyard. The Carron Water winds through the Kirkton of Fetteresso, and Fetteresso Castle, a listed building, lies at the northwestern verge. Other notable area historic structures are the Ury House, Stonehaven Tolbooth, Muchalls Castle and the Chapel of St. Mary and St. Nathalan. Some of the earliest area prehistory has been found nearby on the Fetteresso Estate grounds, where there have been archaeological finds from the Bronze Age.
