Abernethy and Kincardine is a former civil parish, ecclesiastical parish and registration district in the Highland council area of Scotland. The name is not in use for any current (2011) such entity but remains as the usual description for historical purposes, in the case of the registration district being only a name change. The name "Abernethy" is derived from the local River Nethy ("aber" is Pictish for a river mouth or junction). The name Kincardine is of mixed Gaelic and Pictish origin, "ceann" being Scots Gaelic for head and "cardden" the Brythonic/Pictish for a wooded area; the latter element also features as "garten" in other nearby placenames. The current main village, Bridge of Nethy, now more well known as Nethy Bridge was located around the confluence of the River Nethy and the Duack Burn, at ; its earlier growth was mostly upriver along the banks of the Nethy. ==The Ecclesiastical Parish== The Church of Scotland parish was created in the 16th century by the combination of the parishes of Kincardine and Abernethy, both of which have ancient origins and past or later associations with other churches. Both parish churches (and associated burial grounds) remain in use. The baptism registers (up to 1856, since deposited with the Registrar General with microfilm copies at a number of places) have poor coverage around the 1820s, apart from those events not recorded if the parishioners were members of other churches. The pre-1855 marriage registers are in a similar condition but also contain some "extra" entries concerning parishioners who married in other parishes or denominations, including some Roman Catholic marriages (indicated as "married by a priest"). Changes in modern church-going habits have led to Church of Scotland ministers usually covering more than one of the original parishes, in this case resulting in the once "United Parish" of Abernethy and Kincardine becoming separated again and the parts joined to neighbouring parishes; the 2006 circuits for the area are now advertised〔''Strathspey and Badenoch Herald'', 15 Nov 2006.〕 as "Abernethy, Cromdale and Advie" and "Boat of Garten and Kincardine with Duthil Carrbridge". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abernethy and Kincardine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
