Banchory-Devenick
Banchory-Devenick ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Beannchar Dòmhnaig)〔http://www2.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/faclair/sbg/lorg.php?faclair=sbg&seorsa=Beurla&facal=banchory&eis_saor=on&tairg=Lorg〕) is a village approximately two kilometres south of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland in the Lower Deeside area of Aberdeenshire.〔United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map Landranger 45, Aberdeen, 1:50,000 scale, 2006〕 The village should not be confused with the historic civil parish of the same name which spanned the River Dee until 1891, its northern part lying in Aberdeenshire and its southern part in Kincardineshire. In that year the northern part became part of the neighbouring parish of Peterculter, the southern part (including the village) remaining as the parish of Banchory-Devenick.〔(Alexander Smith, ''New History of Aberdeenshire'' (1875) )〕 The village of Banchory-Devenick lies slightly west of the A90 road, and the ancient Causey Mounth passes directly through the village. An historic graveyard dating to 1157 AD is present at the village of Banchory-Devenick.〔(Banchory-Devenick Historic Graveyard )〕 Other historic features in the vicinity include Saint Ternan's Church, Muchalls Castle and the Lairhillock Inn.
==History==
Banchory-Devenick is located along the Causey Mounth trackway, which road was constructed on high ground to make passable this only available medieval route from coastal points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen. This ancient passage specifically connected the River Dee crossing (where the present Bridge of Dee is situated) via Portlethen Moss, Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south.〔(C.Michael Hogan, ''Causey Mounth'', Megalithic Portal, ed. by A. Burnham, Nov 3, 2007 )〕 The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Duke of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the first battle of the English Civil War in 1639.〔Watt, Archibald, ''Highways and Byways around Kincardineshire'', Stonehaven Heritage Society (1985)〕
