context_page_description: Boharm is a rural parish in the Speyside area of north Scotland, midway between Aberlour and Fochabers, and north of Dufftown. It lies on minor roads to either side of the A95. The main settlements in the parish are Maggieknockater and Mulben.
  Despite its tiny size it is linked to two men who have been Moderator of the General Assembly, the highest position in the Church of Scotland.
  A distinctly rural parish it consists mainly of farm estates and has no village centre as such. The parish has an area of 68.4 km².
context_section_description: In Pre-Reformation times the parish and three chapels connected to three different estates: St Nicholas at Boat of Brigg; the chapel at Galival (Gaildwell); and the chapel at Artendol (Arndilly). St Nicholas dated from pre-1232 but was removed when a bridge was built in 1830. The Chapel of Galival dated from pre-1222 and was built by William Freskyn. The burial ground was used until 1740. Arndilly House was built on the site of the third chapel.  
  In 1618 a new parish church and burial ground was established at the expense of King James VI about 2 miles to the north east, near Maggieknockater. Gravestones in the churchyard date from 1692 onwards.
  In 1783 the adjacent parish of Dundurcas was annexed to Boharm by the Court of Teinds, except for the lands of Aikenway, which were transferred to Rothes. The 1618 church fell into disuse in 1793, when a new church was constructed near the centre of the new enlarged parish. Portions of the east wall substantially remodelled (possibly by William Robertson of Elgin) in earlier 19th century as a burial enclosure for families of Arndilly and Auchlunkart who are commemorated by mural plaques.
  The 1793 church was a simple rectangular building, with porches and a vestry added by William Robertson in 1828. The building, originally listed in 1972 as Category B, was recategorised in 1988 as C(S)
  In 1946 Boharm Parish church united with the former United Free Church congregation of Boharm Mulben.  In 1970 a link was established with Botriphnie, with one minister serving both parishes. The 1793 building ceased to be used for worship in 1974, with the former Free Church in Mulben (built around 1850) being used thereafter.
  In 1983 Boharm was united with Keith North and Newmill to form Keith North Newmill and Boharm.  The Church building in Mulben ceased to be used around 1987, following the discovery of structural problems, and has since been converted to flats. The Church now meets in Mulben Hall once a month
