Fordoun was the site of a chapel founded by the 5th-century saint, Palladius, who is said to have preached and died here. Quite how he died is a matter of some mystery; for the historic records state merely that he 'was crowned with martyrdom' within a few years of his arrival in Fordoun. The saint's relics were preserved in a silver shrine with the chapel that he built at Fordoun.

The old ruined kirk at Tarves is remarkable for the 16th-century altar tomb of William Forbes and his wife, Elizabeth Gordon, of Tolquhon Castle, about a mile away. Forbes was the 7th Laird of Tolquhon and was responsible for greatly enlarging and rebuilding the earlier medieval castle.
