According to an article at Genuki the Parish of Gartly belonged in part to Banffshire before the major realignment of parish and county boundaries came into effect on 1 May 1891. Backburn and Gartly were locations concerned in the transfer of the Barony of Gartly to Aberdeenshire. OPRs, civil registrations of BMDs and census records are treated as belonging exclusively to Aberdeenshire but land taxes and transfers may be listed under Banffshire.
Easter Moffat (Golf Course) is at Airdrie, Lanarkshire, abt 12m east of Glasgow.
