Note: The following PDF is a scan of a monograph entitled “Arbuthnott”, relating to the life and times in the Arbuthnott Parish in Kincardineshire, Scotland around 1907 and sixty years before. It was originally printed in 1908 in association with a Bazaar in Bervie Burgh Hall, to raise funds to build a Parish Hall at Arbuthnott. The scan is of a 1992 reprint of the original. The reprint was purchased from the Lewis Grassic Gibbon Centre, located adjacent to the Arbuthnott Parish Hall on the Bervie Road (B967), which runs from Inverbervie (referred to as Bervie in the book) on the East coast of Scotland between Montrose and Stonehaven, and Fordoun to the West on the A90. The scan is provided for genealogical research purposes, and if you are interested in a bound hard copy, as at January 2008, the 1992 reprint of the “Arbuthnott” book can be purchased for £4.50 by mail order from the Lewis Grassic Gibbon website:

www.grassicgibbon.com/ The book includes a text prepared by Geo. Clark Suttie, F.S.A Scot., of Lalathan, entitled:

Arbuthnott

With Reminiscences

Of the

Parish

Sixty Years Ago.

This means the reminiscences date back to around 1850, making it a valuable historic document for families with connections in the area. The book also contains information on the 1908 Bazaar, the committee members and stall holders and the advertisers who supported the publication of the book. If you wish to print a hard copy, it is suggested you print the file two pages to the page.
