Kirkton of Logie Buchan, as its name suggests, is a fine example of a 'kirktoun' (or kirkton): a tiny Scottish rural settlement consisting of the kirk, the manse and a couple of cottages. Even in 2016 it looks primitive. In the distance is the Auchmacoy memorial bridge over the River Ythan: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5094380 .
