New Pitsligo is one of the planned villages of the Scottish Enlightenment. It was founded by Sir William Forbes of Monymusk in 1787. Paradoxically, it was built in the parish of Tyrie rather than in the parish of Pitsligo, which lies further north, on the coast. Where the village now stands was a farm named Cyaak, and this name is still used locally.
