Muchalls

Muchalls is a small coastal ex-fishing village in Kincardineshire, Scotland, south of Newtonhill and north of Stonehaven.

Muchalls is situated slightly to the east of the ancient Causey Mounth trackway, which was constructed on high ground to ensure passage along the only available medieval route from coastal points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen.

[3] William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose took that route when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the battle of the Civil War in 1639.

[5] Muchalls is the birthplace of Richard Henry Brunton,[6] the father of Japanese lighthouses.

The 108 bus between Muchalls and Newtonhill was withdrawn in 2018 due to cost-cutting by Aberdeenshire Council.
