== Fetternear parish and the location of the bishop’s Palace ==
The bishop’s palace at Fetternear was situated in what was, in medieval times, a separate parish. At the end of the sixteenth century the parish was incorporated, along with Logie Durno, into that of Chapel of Garioch. Fetternear’s parish kirk was dedicated to St Ninian and was on the north bank of the River Don about a mile from the bishop’s palace.〔St Ninian Placenames (), retrieved on 2010-06-12.〕
The palace itself is on sloping ground above the Marshes Burn near its confluence with the River Don opposite Kemnay. Placename scholars consider the Fetter- element of the name to be derived from the Gaelic term fetter (or fother, fodder, fether).〔Alexander, W M 1952 ''The Place Names of Aberdeenshire'', Third Spalding Club, p. 276. Watson, W J 1986 () ''The Celtic placenames of Scotland'', Edinburgh: Birlinn.〕 Toponyms of this type typically refer to the situation of the place on shelving or terraced land. Scholars do not agree on the meaning of the –near element of the placename.
