A location in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire, Tifty and Mill of Tifty lie a mile (1½ km) to the north of Fyvie. A local ballad known as Mill o' Tifty's Annie recalls an Agnes Smith who died in 1678 of a broken heart, her father having locked her in her room to prevent her from eloping with the Trumpeter of Fyvie. A stone figure of the trumpeter bcan still be seen on one of the castle towers at Fyvie. ljc
