New Pitsligo

New Pitsligo (Scots: Pitsligae),[2] also known as Cavoch (locally Cyaak),[2][3] is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near Fraserburgh.

Pitsligo Arms Hotel, on High Street, was built in 1790 to provide accommodation for William Forbes upon his visits.

There are found a number of prehistoric monuments including Catto Long Barrow,[8] Silver Cairn and numerous tumuli.

In that same vicinity of the Laeca Burn watershed is the point d'appui of historic battles between invading Danes and indigenous Picts.

Part of the estate eventually passed to William Forbes of Monymusk who founded the village of New Pitsligo on the site of the existing hamlet of Cyaak.
