Full Description
Site of a hospital founded by A Durward (Justiciar of Scotland under Alexander III) for the poor. In a charter dated 1233 he granted the hospital a davach of land and the church of 'Kincardine in Mar'. A further grant of lands was made in 1250. The hospital appears in taxation rolls of 1274 and 1275. In the first half of the 14th century the hospital with its appropriate churches was erected into a prebend of Aberdeen Cathedral. No trace remained in 1842, but it is supposed to have stood in a field called 'Bladernach' between the village and the mid-19th century ferry-boat station on the River Dee (NO5874 9933). There is no local knowledge of the site, and the name 'Bladernach' is no longer known.
Period Notes
Erected into a prebend of Aberdeen Cathedral in 1330.
