Longside:

Graves of Rev. John Skinner author of Tullochgorum, who preached services from the window of his home at Lychart, and Jamie Fleeman 'the Laird of Udny's fool' are to be found in the Parish Kirk.

The village was founded by Ferguson of Pitfour in 1800 to a semi-circular layout. 18th Century farm buildings at Inverquhomery contain a unique group of three doocots. Creechie Raw, Inverveddie is a row of ruined cottages which were occupied by women engaged in carding for a nearby woollen mill, possibly the New Mill at Ludquharn. The row lives on in the rhyme:- 'Chreechie beagle tattie thief, Four and twenty airn teeth, Yin tae ca an yin tae girn, An yin tae ca the Chreechie.'

In the 17th Century many large mansions stood in the parish, including Auchtydonald, Ludquharn and Kinmundy. Most were homes to the Keiths - High Marshals of Scotland. It was a Lady Keith of Kinmundy who in 1745-46 troubles oversaw the burning of Episcopal Church in Longside and Deer, she being a fervent protestant. Of the castles very little
survives, possibly a cobbles courtyard at Mains of Ludquharn, and a profusion of broken roof tiles in a field at Auchtydonald. .
