caption_attribution_description: English: Holy Rood Chapel in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire in October 2011
context_page_description: Newburgh is a coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village dates to 1261 AD, when Lord Sinclair wanted to establish a chapel in the area. Originally built as a school, somewhat later the chapel of Holy Rood was established.
context_section_description: Newburgh is on the Ythan Estuary and near the Sands of Forvie.  Near the estuary mouth, the presence of tern colonies is notable, since there are several distinct species that utilise the north banks of the Ythan Estuary, and comprise a meaningful percentage of the breeding pairs of terns in the United Kingdom.  In the summer terns can be observed feeding in their characteristic diving patterns approximately 600 to 900 metres inland from the estuary.  The Forvie Nature Reserve is very near and to the north, where there is said to be the largest eider duck colony in the world.  Beside the beach is an eighteen-hole golf course with its bird shaped clubhouse and the Udny Arms restaurant.
