Church of Scotland Records Held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECORDS HELD BY ABERDEEN CITY AND ABERDEENSHIRE ARCHIVES A GUIDE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION i ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS 1 ST NICHOLAS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 4 GREYFRIARS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 12 NIGG KIRK SESSION RECORDS 18 ABERDEEN SYNOD RECORDS 19 ST CLEMENTS KIRK SESSION 20 JOHN KNOX KIRK SESSION RECORDS 23 INTRODUCTION Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh. All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number. If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates. You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item. If you are unsure of what an item is, staff are available to help. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any queries regarding this guide and the information contained within. Please note that there may be other records relating to the churches detailed in this guide which are not held under Charge and Superintendence. If you are unable to find a record, please do not hesitate to ask staff for further information and guidance. www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives - i - ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS Earlier records are held at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. 1929 - CH2/1/30 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1929 - 1935) 1935 1 volume 1936 - CH2/1/31 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1936 - 1942) 1942 1 volume 1943 - CH2/1/32 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1943 - 1948) 1948 1 volume 1949 - CH2/1/33 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1949 - 1954) 1954 1 volume 1955 - CH2/1/34 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1955 - 1960) 1960 1 volume 1961 - CH2/1/35 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1961 - 1966) 1966 1 volume 1967 - CH2/1/36 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1967 - 1972) 1972 1 volume 1973 - CH2/1/37 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1973 - 1979) 1979 1 volume 1980 - CH2/1/38 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1980 - 1988) 1988 1 volume 1929 - CH2/1/39 Aberdeen Presbytery Sederunt Book (1929 - 1944) 1944 1 volume 1988 - CH2/1/40 Aberdeen Presbytery Minute Book (1988 - 1995) 1995 1 volume www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives - 1 - 1895 - CH2/1/41 Aberdeen Presbytery Benefice Register volume 1 (1895 - 1905) 1905 Contains additions for 1933 1 volume 1900 - CH2/1/42 Aberdeen Presbytery Benefice Register volume 2 (1900 - 1931) 1931 Includes bound copies of the annual schedules. 1 volume CH2/1/43 Aberdeen Presbytery Benefice Register volume 3 (1931) 1931 Register of the former Presbytery of Ellon.

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • August 2019 Newsletter
    August 2019 Newsletter Firstly, thanks very much to you all for your interest and joining Grampian Cycle Partnership! We have been overwhelmed by the many really kind and supportive comments we have received to date. We are absolutely committed to working positively for cycling across the north east. GCP truly believe we can encourage more people to take up cycling or cycle more by working constructively together with the army of committed and enthusiastic people already doing some fantastic pieces of work across the City, Shire and Moray. Over the last few months, GCP has been meeting with partners and other stakeholders on several projects as well as being involved in ongoing cycling issues for the region. We are taking this time to review what’s going on and tell you what we have been up to. We genuinely think it’s an exciting time for cycling in the area and GCP’s partners have been at the forefront. Please find below some information on what we’ve been involved with so far. Westhill to Aberdeen cycle path An initial open meeting was held with cyclists who use this path to discuss the issues and set up a working project group to document these issues and work with the councils to develop the improvements to this important corridor. This cycle path continues to be among the busiest routes in the whole of the north east. Stonehaven to Aberdeen cycle path At our last meeting we committed to form a similar group for the links to and from the City from the south.

We believe that this development has the potential to overcome many of these issues and make Foveran a destination for modern living. Foveran sits in the heart of the new Energetica and Strategic Growth Corridors, therefore is ideally located for investment and development. We would like to assist in bringing this disjointed community together to create a village with new employment opportunities, modern amenities and a school with updated facilities.

  • Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
    Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.

  • Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences
    Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences Dr Alistair Rennie Page 1 Doc ID: A1882825 Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Summary and Recommendation: 1. The construction of Menie Links Golf Course within Foveran Links SSSI has removed the vast majority of the geomorphological interest within the vicinity of the golf course. Therefore there are insufficient scientific interests to merit a geomorphological SSSI within the Menie Links. Given the absence of the supporting geomorphological processes, this analysis suggests that the ecological designation is untenable within the foot print of the golf course. 2. The earth science interests remain within the GCR site within the northern half of Forvie Links. 3. Two of the SSSI’s most striking features have been destroyed: 99% of the Menie sand sheet has been lost as a result of the golf course, 90% of the Sandend Burn sand sheet has also been lost. 4. Whilst not pre-judging the ecological advice, my recommendation is that de-designation of the Menie Links part of the SSSI is justified based on the loss of landforms and processes, and that a new southern boundary for the SSSI is considered further north, either coincident with the GCR site or from Drums Burn to incorporate ecological interests within the southern part of Foveran Links.
