Columban von Iona gründete im 6. Jahrhundert ein Kloster am Ort des späteren Old Deer. Dort wurde zwischen dem 9. und 12. Jahrhundert das Book of Deer verfasst, das älteste schriftliche Zeugnis der gälischen Sprache in Schottland.[2] Im Jahre 1219 wurde wenige hundert Meter entfernt das Zisterzienserkloster Deer errichtet, von dem heute noch Ruinen vorhanden sind.[3] Zwischen 1845 und 1915 produzierte die Brennerei Glenaden in Old Deer Whisky.[4]
