Auchintoul, an estate, with a mansion, in Marnoch parish, Banffshire. The estate comprises upwards of 3400 acres, contains the village of Aberchirder, and belonged to General Gordon, who rose to high command in the Russian army under Peter the Great, wrote a memoir of that monarch in two volumes, took part in the Jacobite insurrection in 1715, and commanded the Highland clans at Sheriffmuir. The mansion occupies a commanding site within ½ mile SW of Aberchirder; was partly built by General Gordon, and much improved within the present century; and is a plain large edifice, forming three sides of a square. It is now the seat of Col. Wm. Gordon Cumming.
