Kincardine O'Neil

Kincardine O'Neil (Scottish Gaelic: Cinn Chàrdainn, Scots: Kinker) is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It is situated between the towns of Banchory and Aboyne approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of Aberdeen on the north bank of the River Dee.

[1] The O'Neil suffix is likely to originate from the ancient Barony of Onele/O'Neill which was gifted to Donnchadh IV, Earl of Fife by Robert the Bruce in 1315.

[5] In the 19th century, the Deeside Railway bypassed the village, impeding the expansion of the settlement, unlike towns nearby.

[7] Kincardine O'Neil is home to a number of shops and services including a traditional village store and post office.
