Tarland is home to the Culsh Earth House, an
Iron Age below-ground dwelling otherwise known as a
souterrain. Just south of Tarland is the
Tomnaverie stone circle, a 4,000-year-old recumbent stone circle. The site is a property in care of
Historic Scotland. Melgum Lodge near Tarland was originally built as a hunting lodge for the physician to
Queen Victoria, who frequently stayed in the vicinity at
Balmoral Castle. ==Notable people==
