In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Byth like this:
Byth, a hamlet, a mansion, and a village, in King Edward parish, Aberdeenshire. The hamlet lies on the NE border of the parish, 8 miles NE of Turriff. The mansion stands ¾ mile SW of the hamlet, was built in 1593 by Deacon Forbes of Byth, and has been modernised and enlarged. The village stands 1¾ mile SSE of the hamlet, bears the name of Newbyth, and will be separately noticed under that name.
Byth is now part of ABERDEENSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ABERDEENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Byth itself, go to Statistics.
