History
In 1843, Strathbogie Church or the “New Church” as it was known
opened for worship. Two years later it joined the Free Church to
become Huntly Free Church. In 1900 it changed again to become
Strathbogie United Free Church. Following it’s reconciliation
with The Church of Scotland in 1929 it became Strathbogie Church
of Scotland, Huntly. Successful evangelical work sponsored by
the Duchess of Gordon saw the church building physically grow
and by 1877 the tower, bell, clock and hall were added. By 1912
the north gable was extended to accommodate the organ which had
been installed in 1904. |

| A church has actually existed
in Drumblade since the early 12th century. The building erected
after the Reformation was rebuilt in 1773 with modifications
being made around the same time as those at Strathbogie.
The two parishes were first linked
under one ministry in 1975. In 2008 the congregations united to
become Strathbogie Drumblade. Sadly, the Drumblade building has
recently been sold, with all worship being held in Huntly.
