Cults, a hamlet in the Aberdeenshire section of Banchory-Devenick parish, near the left bank of the Dee, with a station on the Deeside railway, 4 miles WSW of Aberdeen, under which it has a post and telegraph office. At it are a Free church and an endowed school; and near it stands Cults House, whose owner, Rt. Shirra-Gibb, Esq. (b. 1847; suc. 1880), holds 981 acres in the shire, valued at £1669 per annum. Two stone coffins, containing human remains, were found a little to the N of this mansion in 1850; and three large cairns are still on the estate.
