History
Malcolm Canmore first established a Celtic foundation on the site in 1078. The Culdees of Munimusc are recorded as inhabiting the site in 1170. Monymusk Priory, an Augustinian priory, was built by Gilchrist, Earl of Mar, around 1200. The estate passed from the Forbes family to the Grant family in 1712, and Sir Archibald Grant established a planned village for estate workers. Monymusk Parish Church today occupies the location.The village was largely rebuilt again in 1840.
In modern times, Monymusk serves as a site for fishing on the nearby River Don.
The village was served by Monymusk railway station on the Alford Valley Railway from 1859 to 1950. The station was sited approximately half a mile south of the village.
