Research Notes:
"THE PARISH OF ABEBLAURE OR ABERLOUR
All in the County of Banff, is called also Skirdrustan. It extendeth on the bank of Spey, from the mouth of Fiddich, 3 miles to the southwest; and, on all other sides, is environed with hills, and no where above a mile in breadth, except a small skirt in Glenrinnes.
The Church standeth on the bank of the river, where a brook, flowing from the hills towards Mortlach, falleth into it 2 miles north-west of Mortlach, 2 miles near to the west of Boharm, and 3 and a half miles north-east of Inveravon. At the confluence of Fiddich and Spey, there is a passage-boat, and another at the church. The parish is now the property of five heritors.
In the lower end is Mudhouse, a feu pertaining to Mr. Anderson. Next up the river is the heritage of Gordon of Aberlaure. Further up the river, and on the south-east of the brook, is Alachie. This was the heritage of Alexander Grant, third son of Bellentom, by whose daughter it came in mortgage to Duff of Keithmore, and was lately redeemed by Sir Ludowick Grant, who in 1758 disponed it to James Grant of Carron. In the face of the hill south-west from Alachie, is Edinville. This was the property of Gordon of Faskine, from whom it came to Grant of Easter Elchies, and is now the property of the Earl of Findlater. The lands of Mudhouse, Aberlour, Alachie, and Edinvillie, were a part of the Lordship of Balvenie; and the lands of Carron were Church lands, and now hold of the family of Gordon."
