In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Muchalls like this:
Muchalls, a village in Fetteresso parish, Kincardineshire, with a station on the North-Eastern section of the Caledonian railway, 5 miles NNE of Stonehaven, under which it has a telegraph and post office. Muchalls Episcopal church, St Ternan's, was built in 1831, and enlarged in 1865 and 1870. Four predecessors - the oldest dating from 1624 - stood 1 mile to the S. Muchalls Castle, on a rising-ground, is a venerable edifice; and was long the seat of the baronet family of Burnett of Leys.—Ord. Sur., sh. 67, 1871.
