Tullynessle and Forbes is a parish in Aberdeenshire, 2½ miles north-east of Alford. The former of these ancient parishes, which were united by act of the General Assembly in 1808, derives its name, in some records Tullynesset, from the Gaelic, signifying either a dwelling on a sloping bank, or a dwelling upon the River Esset, from the situation of its church and manse. The latter parish was named from its proprietors, the ancient family of Forbes. The whole of the population is rural and there are no villages.
