Fair in the beauty of its landscape with its valley pastures, its laboriously stone-cleared hill farms and the highland contours and trees of the upper reaches of the Feugh. Fair too in its people, both those families who have lived in the valley for generations, winning a sometimes precarious living from the soil, and those who have come more recently but have grown to love it just as deeply. — Lord Wilson of Tillyorn What we’re up to.

In those ancient title deeds are recorded the names of Percie, Clune, Balnaboth, Balfiddy, Tillyfruskie and Tillygarmond, all places which continue to exist as part of the working farm enterprises of today’s Finzean. In 1580, Donald Farquharson of the Castleton of Braemar acquired Tillygarmond, the first landed property in the valley to be owned by the Farquharsons. In 1707, Queen Anne granted Robert Farquharson, the 4th Laird of Finzean, a Barony Charter, ensuring his complete independence from any other feudal superior except the Crown. Finzean today has come to mean many different things to many different people, though the name originated from a house and the modest area of land, which surrounded it, first acquired by the Farquharson family in 1609. Gradually, this territory expanded into something more substantial, recognised in the twentieth century as a Parish in its own right, with a church, school and village hall. For many, ‘Finzean’ has come to mean a much-loved home, a village – or, indeed, the community itself.
