AUCHINDOIR AND KEARN. An area of deeply incised burns and steep hill slopes. The village of Lumsden was founded,

c.1825, by Mr Leith Lumsden of Clova, a new town on barren moor. Like Rhynie nearby, it is graced by a village green. The plain Free Church, 1843, became parish kirk; also UP Church, 1803. War Memorial.
