Forvie was a village in what is now the Forvie National Nature Reserve, about fourteen miles north of Aberdeen, near the modern location of Rockend. It was one of several settlements in north-east Scotland that were abandoned after being overwhelmed by shifting sand dunes. [1]
There are visible remains of the 12th-century church of St Adamnan, and other remains were found by a survey in the 1950s. Little is known of the village, which is believed to have been abandoned during the 15th century. Interpretive material at the site suggests that oats provided good harvests. [1]
