Forglen is a parish in Aberdeenshire, north‑west of Turriff, within the AB 45 postal district. The area is dominated by the Forglen estate, whose centrepiece is Forglen House – a mansion that has been the main family seat of the Lord Banff family and later the Abercromby baronets. The house dates back to the 14th century, with significant development in the 18th and 19th centuries, including landscaping and the construction of the present house in 1839 by architect John Smith. The estate’s history includes ownership by the abbots of Arbroath and the holding of the Monymusk Reliquary. The setting is rural and historic, with the estate’s grounds and surrounding countryside forming a notable part of the local character.
