New Byth is a small inland planned village in the Banff and Buchan committee area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, that lies a few miles northeast of Cuminestown. It was founded in 1763 by the then Laird of Byth, James Urquhart.The village has few facilities, the former primary school having closed in 2005, followed by the Post Office in 2006, and the village pub in 2008. There are two former church buildings, the larger previously affiliated to the Church of Scotland (1857, A & W Reid) and now derelict, the smaller associated with the United Free Church of Scotland until 1929 and now owned by a community association which hires it out as a general-purpose hall. The village had an active branch of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute for 50 years to 2011, when it merged with the Monquhitter branch. The village hosts an annual steam and vintage rally, usually on the Sunday closest to 1 July.

It is located at the junction of several roads crossing through the Howe of Buchan. It was founded after monks from Deer Abbey, Old Deer, built a chapel at Auchreddie, which translates as "field of the bog myrtle", and lies clustered on both sides of the slope of a tributary of South Ugie Water. Around 1507 the register of Deer Abbey lists its lands in the "new paroche of Deir". The name Auchreddie has dropped in significance over the years; however, the southern end of the village is still known by this name.In 1805, New Deer was extended to the north by the third James Ferguson of Pitfour (1735–1820), the elder brother of Patrick Ferguson. Also involved were the Gordons of Cairnbanno, who were seeking to improve the old community of Auchreddie.

Cuminestown is a village in the Formartine area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and sits at the centre of the parish of Monquhitter. It is approximately 6 miles from Turriff and New Deer, 10 miles from Macduff and Banff and 15 miles from Fraserburgh. Monquhitter is a small rural parish nestling in the heart of Aberdeenshire. It incorporates the small village of Garmond and many houses and farms in the surrounding areas including Greeness and Greens. The parish was split from Turriff in 1649 when what was then a rural church was built on land owned by the Cumine family. The village itself was founded in 1763 by Joseph Cumine, to a design by Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk, a friend of Cumine's. Grant's plan for the village followed closely the design used for firstly New Keith, and secondly Archiestown. The construction of the village was followed soon afterwards by the adjacent hamlet of Garmond. The postcode of Cuminestown is within the Turriff and District ward/electoral division, which is in the UK Parliamentary Constituency of Banff and Buchan. The Scottish Parliament constituency is Aberdeenshire East. The village primary school, called Monquhitter School, also serves Garmond and New Byth. The Parish Church of Montquhitter was built in 1764, on a bluff behind the town. It was extended by James Matthews in 1868. It contains a 17th-century stone, from an earlier church, and a bell of 1689.A 1707 monument to William Cumine has "excellent carving and three curious, almost Romanesque panels framing a fine flying skeleton". Cumine's house, Auchry, built in 1767, was a tall, red ashlar mansion featuring carvings from Auchry Castle.The large, now-replaced House of Byth was built to 1693. It is survived only by 19th-century doocot and home farm.In 2011, Cuminestown had an estimated population of 440. It is currently estimated to have a population of 540

Brucklay Castle, also known as Brucklay House, is a 16th-century castle in the Buchan area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The earliest part of the castle was erected by James Crawford of Brucklay in 1600–1625, possibly incorporating elements of a 16th-century building. It was granted by the Clan Irvine to Arthur Dingwall in 1742 when he married into their family. The building was extended in 1765, and again in 1814, by architect John Smith, A major reconstruction took place in 1849, designed by Thomas Mackenzie for Captain Alexander Dingwall-Fordyce. Further additions were made in 1881, probably by architect James Matthews, who was in partnership with Alexander Marshall Mackenzie, son of Thomas.During World War II, prisoners of war were housed in huts on the castle grounds. In 1952 the building was sold to the housebreaker, Charles Brand of Dundee Ltd. Its contents and some architectural features were sold off shortly afterwards, and the roof removed. By the 1990s it was a ruin and was placed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. In 2010 planning consent was granted for partial demolition and restoration of the house, though by 2013 this had not been implemented. The house is a category C listed building.Within the estate is the private burial ground of the Dingwall-Fordyce family, including an obelisk commemorating William Dingwall Fordyce, MP (1836-1875), who is also commemorated by the Culsh Monument at New Deer.

Netherbrae is an area of farmland and small crofts in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is approximately 8 miles (13 km) north of Turriff and 9 miles (14 km) south-east of Macduff, and is just off the main A98 road. Netherbrae, like many of the neighbouring small areas, does not form a distinctly identifiable village, but is somewhat ill-defined by maps and roadsigns, and in practice it overlaps with the areas around it including Overbrae, Hill of Overbrae, Mid Clochforbie, and South Clochforbie, the latter two appearing on Ordnance Survey maps of the 19th Century as part of "Crofts of Clochforbie". Postal addresses in Netherbrae traditionally included the similarly loosely defined Fishrie (sometimes spelt "Fisherie"), but are now officially in the Turriff post town. The postcode district is AB53. Local telephone numbers bear the 01261 area code. Farming in the region is mixed, with some land given over to crop production, some to sheep and cattle, and some to pockets of forestry. There are a few businesses catering mainly to the agricultural community, a large used-car dealership, an animal rescue sanctuary, and holiday-let yurts.

In the 1884 rescue from SS William Hope in Aberdour Bay off the north coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland Jane Whyte rescued fifteen sailors from their ship in conditions described as "blowing a hurricane". On 28 October 1884 SS William Hope was sailing from Fraserburgh to Burghead carrying only ballast. Caught off Troup Head by a shift in the wind in severe conditions the captain headed into Aberdour Bay where its steam engine failed and anchor chain broke. When the ship was drifting towards rocks on the shore Jane Whyte, a 40-year-old mother of nine and wife of a farm worker, was walking her dog along the beach. Whyte waded into the sea and caught a rope thrown towards her. Winding it round her waist, she pulled back to the shore and held it firmly while all fifteen sailors struggled to reach land one at a time. She then gave them shelter overnight until they were able to return to Dundee. Whyte was awarded the RNLI silver medal for outstanding bravery and a Board of Trade bronze medal of gallantry. With her £10 reward she was able to purchase her rented croft. The ship, an iron fishing trawler built in 1882, was wrecked and sold to be broken up.
