King Edward, Aberdeenshire, Scotland


 


Notes:
King Edward (Scottish Gaelic language: Cinn Eadar) is a small village and parish on the north coast of Scotland in Buchan, midway between Turriff and Banff,_Scotland.



The old church of King Edward, with historic graveyard, was founded around 1124 by St Aidan. The last service in the old church was on 25 June 1848, and after that moved to a new building alongside the main road.





The name itself has nothing to do with any "King Edward", but is a corruption of an earlier Scottish Gaelic name. The first element "King", usually appears as "kin" in Scottish placenames, and derives from "Ceann" meaning a headland. The second element is less certain, but may derive from "Eadar" (between) or "cathair-thalmhainn" (yarrow).



The parish of King Edward has had approximately 24 variations of the name: Kynedor (12th Century), Kynedward and Kinedart to name a few.
