Peterculter (),〔(The Online Scots Dictionary )〕 also known as Culter (Scots: ''Couter''), is a suburb of Aberdeen, Scotland, about eight miles inland from Aberdeen city centre.〔United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map, Landranger 45, Stonehaven and Banchory, 1:50000 scale (2004)〕 Peterculter is on the northern banks of the River Dee, near the confluences with Crynoch Burn and Leuchar Burn. Following the 1996 Scottish council boundary changes it became part of the City of Aberdeen's Lower Deeside ward. The latter part of the name is said to come from the Gaelic compound word "Cul-tir", which signifies the "back part" of the country. ==History== About one mile south west of the Peterculter, near Peterculter Golf Club is the site of the Roman marching camp at Normandykes. King William the Lion bestowed the church of Kulter, “iuxta Abirdene”, upon the Abbey and monks of St Mary of Kelso, about 1165–1199. The gift was afterwards confirmed by Mathew, Bishop of Aberdeen, within whose diocese the church sat. Alan of Soltre, chaplain, who had probably been an ecclesiastic of the hospital, or monastery of Soutra, in Lothian, was presented by the Abbot of Kelso, to the vicarage of the church of Culter, 1239–1240. In 1287–1288, an agreement was made between the Abbot and Convent of Kelso and the brotherhood of the Knights of Jerusalem, regarding the Templars’ lands of Blairs and Kincolsi (Kincousie, now Kincaussie), on the south side of the Dee, by which a chapel, built by the Templars at their house of Culter, was recognised as a church, with parochial rights, for the inhabitants of the said lands. It was this agreement that changed the existing parish of Culter into two separate parishes with two separate names, the other being Maryculter. 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「Peterculter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
