History in Gardenstown
Edit This
Gardenstown (Locally known as Gamrie) – fishing village on the north shore of Buchan founded in 1720 by Francis Garden of Troup. The village clings to the steep hillside above Gamrie Bay. To the west of the village in a prominent position stands the ruined chapel built in 1513 which stands on the site of a much earlier church dedicated to St John built to commemorate the Scot's victory over invading Danes in 1004; and to the east we have the fishing village of Crovie now a conservation area.
