St Andrew's Parish Church and war memorial

Tyrie is a hamlet and parish in the Banff and Buchan district of Aberdeenshire, north-east Scotland.[1] Tyrie is located on the A98 road, around 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south-west of Fraserburgh. Tyrie parish includes the larger settlement of New Pitsligo, 5 miles (8.0 km) to the south.[2] There is a primary school in the village. Tyrie's St Andrew's Parish Church was built in 1800 and is a category B listed building.[3] The church contains a Pictish symbol stone, known as the Raven Stone, which was discovered on the site of the old parish church.[4] The ecclesiastical parish was united with Strichen parish in 2002.[5]

Boyndlie House, 1814, is a "recasting of the fine 17th-century House of Boyndlie, something not unlike Edinburgh's Prestonfield House".[6]
