Cornhill (Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic: Cnoc an Arbhair) is a small village close to Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It lies 5miles to the south of Portsoy. The village was originally a burgh of a feudal barony and is now a farming community.[2]
There is the local garage Ewens of Cornhill,[3] Post Office and the local pub Peggy Duff's (formerly the Gordon Arms). There is a nearby castle, Castle of Park, also known as Park House, which was built around 1536. There is a local Church of Scotland which is a joint church between Ordiquhill and Cornhill.[4] Ordiquhill's own church, in Overtoun, was built around 1805. As of 1990, it was "awaiting beneficial re-use".[5]
Cornhill has its own highland games in summer, including the Knock Hill race, an 8.5miles race up the nearby Knock Hill and back.
There is a small school Ordiquhill Primary,[6] slightly over 1miles southwest along the A95 road.
The United Free Church was built in 1904, and the Hay Memorial Hall in 1893.[7] Culvie House, a large three-bay house, dates to around 1730.[5]
There is considerable evidence of prehistoric habitation in the vicinity of Cornhill, including the extant Longman Hill barrow.[8]
