St Columba's & Upper Deeside

There is a rich history of the Catholic community and their places of worship along the River Dee. We hope to share more about it soon.

St Columba’s Banchory

St Columba’s, the youngest of the Catholic churches on Deeside, was opened on 29th October, 1931.

St Margaret’s Aboyne

The present church in Aboyne is dedicated to St Margaret, but the history of this place goes back a long time.

St Nathalan’s Ballater

On 2nd May 1905, the new Catholic Church of St Nathalan’s on Golf Road in Ballater was dedicated.

St Andrew’s Braemar

This first church at Braemar was built by Angus MacFergus, King of the Picts 731-761.
