Parish notes

Fetterangus, now part of Old Deer ODR: this was originally a chapel of Inverugie [Longley, now St Fergus STF], and mentioned as such c.1210 (church of ‘Inuirhugin cum capella de Fetheranus’), when it was granted to Arbroath Abbey by Ralf le Naym (and confirmed to its uses by Bp. Adam of Aberdeen 1207x28 (Arb. Lib. i nos. 199, 201). It later achieved parochial status, the parsonage remaining with the Arbroath Abbey, while the cure was a vicarage perpetual which in the 16th c. formed a single cure with that of Longley (ibid. ii no.601; Ass. 330, 391; RSS v no.2148). Cowan 1967, 65. It was united to ODR in 1618 (OSA xvi, 469). Before 1891 it formed a detached part of BNF (i.e. that part of ODR which formerly lay in BNF - see Shennan 1892, 170). Prior to that union, it seems always to have been a detached part of STF, as the s. part of Lonmay (LOY) and the north part of LON (formerly part of PHD) separate the two. St Fergus (STF) - originally called Longley or Inverugie. In BNF (detached) till 1891.
