Mergie
Mergie is a settlement in Aberdeenshire approximately six miles west of Stonehaven, Scotland.[1] Situated in the former Kincardineshire slightly south of the Slug Road.
Early area history
[edit]Mergie is in an area of significant prehistoric and historic fabric. Roman legions marched from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp on a route not far from Mergie as they sought higher ground evading the bogs of Red Moss and other low-lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls. That march used the Elsick Mounth, one of the ancient trackways crossing the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains,[2] lying west of Netherley.
