The name is thought to be derived from an early Christian settlement founded by St Ternan. It is claimed that Ternan was a follower of St Ninian. Tradition has it that he established his settlement on the banks of the River Dee. John Macqueen Cowan, who was born in 1892 in Banchory, was a prominent Scottish botanist in the mid 20th century. He died in 1960.
