Cookney

Cookney is a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland in proximity to Netherley in the Mounth of the Grampian Highlands.

From Cookney a portion of the ancient route of the Causey Mounth is visible to the east near Whinward Farm, although the track is not truly recognizable from that distance.

There is considerable history of the Episcopal churches of the local area, with some early facilities being part of proximate Muchalls Castle.

Earlier ruined Episcopal churches also exist slightly to the east on historical lands of Muchalls Castle.

[4] The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the first battle of the Civil War in 1639.
