Fothirdun (possibly "the lower place"), as it was historically known, was an important area in the Howe of the Mearns. Fordoun and Auchenblae, together with their immediate districts form the Parish of Fordoun with the Parish Church [1] in the vicinity of the original settlement, now absorbed by Auchenblae. In the 19th Century a railway station was opened approximately 3 miles to the South East of Fordoun Church and the original settlement. A village grew at the site of the railway named Fordoun Station (opened in November 1849 and closed in June 1956)[2] where there were also a number of shops, but only a seasonal farm shop remains.[3] In the time since the founding of the railway station the village formerly known as Fordoun Station has come to be known simply as Fordoun and the site of original settlement has been absorbed by Auchenblae.

HistoryThere is a Pictish symbol stone, the Fordoun Stone (also known as St. Palladius' Stone), in the parish church on the outskirts of Auchenblae at NO726784[6] In his 1819 Geography, James Playfair notes that[7] Fordoun is a mean town, and the seat of a presbytery, noted for being the birthplace or temporary residence of John Fordoun, author of the Scotichronicon; and of Palladius, who was sent by Pope Celestine into Scotland, in the 5th century, to oppose the Pelagian heresy. The chapel of Palladius, adjacent to the church, is 40 by 18 feet; at the corner of the minister's garden there is a well still called Paldy's well; and an Annual fair in the neighbourhood is styled Paldy-fair. North of the village is a disused airfield that was active during World War II. A two-runway satellite for Peterhead airfield, Fordoun Aerodrome operated from 1942 to 1944.[8] Notes1. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.mearns.org.uk/stonehaven/fordoun.htm| title=Fordoun and Auchenblae| accessdate=2007-04-29| deadurl=yes| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070809004142/http://www.mearns.org.uk/stonehaven/fordoun.htm| archivedate=2007-08-09| df=}} {{Commons category|Fordoun}}{{Kincardine and Mearns, Aberdeenshire places|state=uncollapsed}}{{Aberdeenshire places|state=collapsed}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Aberdeen_Railway/frame.htm| title=Aberdeen Railway| accessdate=2007-04-29}} 3. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.mearns.org/blae.htm| title=Fordoun and Auchenblae| author=Mearn Community website| accessdate=2007-04-29}} 4. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.brycchancarey.com/abolition/beattie.htm| title=James Beattie Biography| author=Julie Watt| accessdate=2007-04-29}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Biographical Index of Former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783–2002|date=July 2006|publisher=The Royal Society of Edinburgh|isbn=0 902 198 84 X|url=https://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp1.pdf}} 6. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/archaeology/sites/pictish/fordoun.asp| title=Fourdoun Stone| accessdate=2007-04-29| deadurl=yes| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927030738/http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/archaeology/sites/pictish/fordoun.asp| archivedate=2007-09-27| df=}} 7. ^{{Cite journal|last=Playfair|first=James|author-link=|year=1819|editor-last=|editor-first=|contribution=|title=A Geographical and Statistical Description of Scotland|volume=II|edition=|publisher=Archibald Constable and Co.|publication-date=1819|publication-place=Edinburgh|page=37|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fw0vAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=2008-08-03|postscript=}} 8. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Barracks/6344/fordoun.htm| title=Disused WWII Airfields in N.E.
