Tullynessle church

Tullynessle is a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is connected to Forbes, which is 3 miles from Alford.[1]

The settlement contains the Category A listed Terpersie Castle, a privately-owned 16th-century tower house.[2] It formerly contained Tullynessle Tower, now gone, which was the summer residence of Patrick Forbes of Carse, the Bishop of Aberdeen from 1564 to 1635.[3]

The village has a primary school, Tullynessle Primary School, whose pupils attend Alford Academy for their secondary education.[4]
