STRATHDON, or Invernochty, a '''parish''', in the district of Alford, county of Aberdeen, 19 miles (W. by S.) from Alford. This place, originally called Invernochty, derived that name from the situation of its church near the influx of the river Nochty into the Don; and its present appellation, from its extensive and beautiful strath, or valley, through which the river Don takes its pleasing, winding course, dividing the parish into two nearly equal parts. The church was rebuilt in 1757, and reseated and repaired in 1808; it is a plain substantial structure containing 504 sittings. At Curgarff a church was erected; it is a handsome structure, and affords ample accommodation for the inhabitants. There is also a small '''Roman Catholic''' chapel at Curgarff.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43481#s20 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514. Adapted. Date accessed: 20 June 2014.</ref> | STRATHDON, or Invernochty, a '''parish''', in the district of Alford, county of Aberdeen, 19 miles (W. by S.) from Alford.
