About
New Deer is a town of about 620 people in highlands. (Human settlement in Scotland.) According to Wikipedia: "New Deer is a settlement in Aberdeenshire, North East Scotland, which lies in the valley of Deer. It is located at the junction of several roads crossing through the Howe of Buchan. It was founded after monks from Deer Abbey, Old Deer, built a chapel at Auchreddie, which translates as 'field of the bog myrtle', and lies clustered on both sides of the slope of a tributary of South Ugie Water. Around 1507 the register of Deer Abbey lists its lands in the 'new paroche of Deir'. The name Auchreddie has dropped in significance over the years; however, the southern end of the village is still known by this name."
