History & geography
History
Gartly Castle, visited by Mary, Queen of Scots prior to the Battle of Corrichie in 1562, lay south west of the village. In June 1620 George Mitchell went to church at Gartly to hear the Sunday sermon. He was assaulted by three enemies who chased him out of the church, and he got into the flooded River Bogie to try to escape. His pursuers followed him into the water and drew their swords, injuring him in the face and elsewhere, before carrying him back to the Kirk of Gartly.
