Old Winter photograph of the Parish Church in Cromdale, Strathspey, Scotland. One of the ancient parishes which formed the combined ecclesiastical, later civil, parish of Cromdale, Inverallan and Advie in Morayshire. The village was within Inverness-shire until 1869, when it was moved by the Inverness and Elgin County Boundaries Act 1870 to the Morayshire. It remained part of Morayshire until 1975, when the county was divided between the Highland and Grampian regions; it is now within the Highland Council Area. The parish church and cemetery are located beside the River Spey at the end of Kirk Road. The Battle of Cromdale took place in 1690 on the Haughs of Cromdale, about 2 miles East of the village. The village is within the Cairngorms National Park.
