English: Auchenblae is a village in The Mearns, Aberdeenshire formerly Kincardineshire, Scotland. It is featured in Lewis Grassick Gibbon's novel, Sunset Song. The name is a derivation from the gaelic for "Field of Flowers" possibly due to the growing of Flax in bygone times. The village was known for its weavers, a distillery and the annual Paldie's Fair horse market. The Parish Church on the other side of the river "Luther Water" was built as Fordoun Parish Church on a site known as Kirkton of Fordoun. Religious site since 7th century. St Palladius died and reputedly buried here. Celtic stone in the kirk's vestibule. In the graveyard is the ancient ruin of St Palladius' Chapel and there is a memorial to Scotland's first Protestant martyr George Wishart (born at Mains of Pittarrow in old parish of Fordoun and burnt at the stake by Cardinal Beaton in St.Andrews.
