Foveran
Foveran () is the name of both a parish and village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village is located north of Aberdeen and southeast of Ellon; the main group of houses and the village school are located adjacent to the main A90 trunk road. The origin of the place-name is from the Scottish Gaelic word "fuaran" indicating a place with a little spring and appears as "Furene" in c. 1150. The hereditary baronetcy of Foveran is held by the Turing family (see Turing Baronets). The cryptographer and computing pioneer Alan Turing (1912–1954) was uncle to the present Baronet.
