Abernethy and Kincardine

[countingnames]

Hello.

Can anyone confirm for me which county Abernethy and Kincardine belonged to? I have read different sources that state it belongs in Inverness-shire, others state it belongs in Morayshire.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the links, looking over them now.

I am looking at sources with people born and married in Abernethy and Kincardine in the 1700s.

Hello,
     There is an Abernethy village in Perthshire, but Abernethy coupled with Kincardine is more likely to be this Abernethy in Inverness-shire.

The united parish of Abernethy and Kincardine is mainly in Inverness-shire, but parts of it were in Morayshire until some of the boundaries were rationalised in about 1890.

See https://stataccscot.edina.ac.uk/static/statacc/dist/parish/Inverness/Abernethy%20and%20Kinchardine

Scotland's People places all Abernethy and Kincardine parish records in Inverness-shire.

Do not confuse this Abernethy with the parish and town of Abernethy in Perthshire (part of that parish being in Fife), or this Kincardine with the similarly named parish in Ross and Cromarty, the village of Kincardine on the Forth in Perthshire, the town of Kincardine O'Neil or the County of Kincardine (Kincardineshire).

The Abernethy Highland Games are held annually at Nethy Bridge in the parish of Abernethy and Kincardine, and every year the Perth Tourist Information Centre used to field a few complaints on the following Monday from people who had gone to Abernethy for the Highland Games and failed to find them.

Thank you a lot for the help, it is especially great to see Abernethy and Kinchardine located on a map like that.
