033; 034 | This River forms the principal part of the Northern Boundary of Aberlemno. It empties itself into the German Ocean at Montrose, passing through Montrose Basin, at the mouth ofwhich there is a fine chain Bridge, or Suspension Bridge. Any references to the River made in the several Acts for Montrose Bridge mention ''River South Esk'', which is consequently considered to be the first & best authority by those who have been asked to authenticate the Name of the River. All the personal authorities quoted admit that in conversation or any reference made to the River in speaking it is always called ''South Esk'' only - due regard being given to the form in which the various authorities use the Name, South Esk or Southesk. It has therefore been adopted on the Examination Traces according to custom. [continued on page 4] |
