The parish of Glass is nowadays reckoned as belonging to Aberdeenshire, and the main article about it will therefore be found among the GENUKI Aberdeenshire pages. However, before the major re-alignment of parish and county boundaries which came into effect on 1st May 1891, the parish belonged in part to Banffshire. The remaining articles on this page give details.

- Ask for a calculation of the distance from Glass (BAN) to another place.
Until 1st May 1891, the parish of Glass straddled the boundary between Banffshire and Aberdeenshire, but on that date, the county boundary was moved, leaving Glass exclusively in Aberdeenshire. The anomaly is not likely to have any great consequences for genealogy. OPRs, the civil Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and the Census treat Glass as belonging exclusively to Aberdeenshire. It may be, however, that taxes on land and transfers of land are recorded under Banffshire.
