Blairdaff United Free Kirk

Blairdaff is an ecclesiastical parish in Garioch, Aberdeenshire, next to the villages of Kemnay and Monymusk.

Blairdaff had a grocery store, a post office, and both petrol and diesel pumps until 1986 when the post office was relocated to Blindburn Farm. Blairdaff Parish Church (Church of Scotland) was originally built in 1850 as the Free Church and became the Parish Church in 1934. It is linked to the church in the Chapel of Garioch. After a fire in the 1950s, the old church had the roof removed, however, there is a tradition of open air services in the summer months, which continues to this day.[1]
