The square and the main street in Cuminestown

Cuminestown (pron. kʌm'ɪnstʌn) is a small village in the heart of Aberdeenshire, approximately six miles east of Turriff. The village is main centre of the parish of Monquhitter, which was split from Turriff in 1649 when what was then a rural church was built on land owned by the Cumine family. The village itself was originally built in the 1740s, followed soon afterwards by the adjacent hamlet of Garmond.

As of 2004, it has an estimated population of 500 and a primary school called Monquhitter Primary School which also covers Garmond and New Byth.
