OS1/1/49/11 SCULPTURED STONE [Kinellar Churchyard] Sculptured Stone Sculptured Stone Sculptured Stone George Milne Esqr Revd [Reverend] Robert Fiddes Mr Alexander Watt 065 "The stone at Kinnellar is in the churchyard of the Parish, which was the site of a circle of standing stones, several of which of great size and weight, though fallen, yet remain above the ground, and others have sunk in the earth, and it has been stated, that the sculptured stone, either formed part of the circle, or was placed in connection therewith; but a correspondent of Dr [Doctor] Hibbert states, that when it was found in 1801, it formed the foundation of the south-east corner of the old church. He adds, "Dr [Doctor] Mitchell had the marks revised, and I think, made more perfect than in the above copy I took when it was first seen, for I preached there the first Sabbath after this stone was found." A comparison of the drawing here referred to, with that in the present volume, enables me to state, that the stone has fortunately not suffered from the dangerous restoration of Dr [Doctor] Mitchell. It is of granite. Many cairns of Stones seem to have been in this Parish, and several of them, as well as the remains of circles of stone yet remain." Sculptured Stones of Scotland This stone, which is rudely sculptured, has been built into the wall forming the northern boundary of Kinellar Grave Yard, the figures engraved thereon are evidently of Pagan origin.

OS1/1/49/13 RIVER DON Don (The) The Don Don River the Don River Don River Don River Don River Don Fullarton's Gazetteer Old Statistical Account Johnstone's Co [County] Map New Statistical Account Donside Guide Book George Milne Esqr Rev. [Reverend] Robert Fiddes Mr Alexander Watt 065 "A river of Aberdeenshire. It forms a sort of twin-stream to the Dee, and is next to that river in Aberdeenshire as regards at once basin, note, and magnitude, and resembles it also in possessing much volume, and much fine scenery, with very little commercial importance; yet differs essentially from it in some great characters, and, even presents some striking contrasts. It rises on the skirts of Ben Avon, 6 miles west of Curgarff, amongst the mountains which bound Aberdeenshire on the south-west, at the head of Strath-Don, and which divide it from the head of Strath-Deveron in Banffshire. Its source is considerably lower than that of the Dee; the altitude is 1640 feet above sea-level. A great part of its run, though somewhat parallel to the Dee, and at no great distance from it, is through districts much less mountainous, and abounding far more in plains and expanded meadows; so that, instead of the impetuosity and the fitfulness of the Dee, it displays a prevailing current of gentleness, calmness, and regularity. Running eastward in a very sinuous career, through the whole breadth of the county, it flows into the German Ocean on the north side of Aberdeen. Its whole length of course is about 62 miles; though in a direct line from its source to its termination, the distance is only 41 miles. In its earliest stretches through the parish of Strathdon, which it divides into two nearly equal parts, it is joined on both sides by 7 or 8 burns, separated from each other by considerable hills, and most of them running through deep hollows and glens. The principal are the Ernan and the Nochtie. All these burns abound with excellent trout; and salmon is even here very frequently found in the Don, at least towards the lower end of this parish. Turning northward, and dividing for a short distance the parish of Glenbucket from part of Migvie, it receives from the latter the Deskry, and from the former the Bucket. Then again flowing eastward, it passes through the parish of Towie; and winding northward, reinforced by other tributaries, round Gorieshill, it at once becomes remarkably enlarged near Westside; after which it resumes its eastern route, dividing various parishes, particularly Forbes and Alford, from the latter of which, on the south, it derives the waters of the Lochel, the most considerable tributary it has yet received. In passing hitherto through the high parts of the district of Alford, the Don flows through a narrow gullet amongst the western mountains, while its banks are now partly wooded. Perpetually changing its course to the north, and even the west, to the east, and then through Monymusk parish to the south, the next considerable tributary which there enlarges it is the Ton burn from the south; when immediately it turns to the north again between Kemnay and part of Chapel Garioch parishes, and arrives at a point a little to the south of the royal burgh of Inverury, where, on its northern bank, stands the building formerly occupied as the Roman Catholic college of Aquhorties. This point is about 16 miles from the source of the river, and its vicinity constitutes, perhaps, the most interesting as well as important part of its whole course. Here at the Bass, a conical mount of considerable elevation standing in the midst of the confluence, it is joined by its principal tributary, the River Urie from the district of Strathbogie. The Don here very much increased by the water of the Urie, notwithstanding the previous diversion of a large portion of its waters into the Inverury Canal, flows southward from the Bass, between the parish and the [continued on page 14]

OS1/1/49/14 RIVER DON River Don [continued from page 13] Continued the lowlands of Kintore on the south, and the mountainous part of Keith-hall with Kinkell on the north. It divides, for a short distance, into two branches, which reunite, enclosing a river-island to the north of the royal burgh of Kintore. Between Fintray and Dyce it is bordered by mountains on both sides, with valuable plantations on the northern or Fintray side. It then runs southward, still dividing the parishes on its line, to Old Machar parish in the freedom of the city of Aberdeen, whence it turns to the east, by the city or old town, to its confluence with the sea, little more than a mile to the northward of the Dee, where it forms a kind of harbour, into which small craft may enter in safety, but where no trade of any importance can be carried on. "About a century ago," says Mr Kennedy in his 'Annals of Aberdeen'. "the channel of the Don near the town was altered, and the stream diverted straight into the sea about a mile further northward than its ancient efflux." In a note, he adds, "Probably at some very remote period, Don had continued its former course still further southward down the hollow of the links, till it united with Dee in the harbour, and both together would form one stream into the ocean. Such conjecture is in some measure confirmed by the works of Ptolemy and Richard of Cirencester, there being no such river as Don delineated in their maps, or even mentioned in their tables, while Diva (Dee) and Ituna (Ethan) in the district of Taixali, are particularly noticed. In the earlier records of the burgh, the river Don is distinguished solely by the name of Aqua Borealis." As this river runs with considerable rapidity during the last 8 miles of its course, and as the rocks at its mouth confine it to a narrow channel, and give it there a gloomy aspect, the idea of its flowing rapidly through a rugged and mountainous country, where no space is left for forming even a commodious road along its banks, is at first induced, but after passing upwards for about a mile beyond the rocky chasm, where was built the spacious, stately, and attractive Gothic arch, constituting the celebrated Brig o' Balgounie, and up to whose locality alone the Don is navigable even for small craft, the hills recede so far from the river as to form spacious haughs or level valleys on either side, through which it winds in a slow and majestic course. Nor is the prospect here uniform, but agreeably diversified. The hills above Inverury approach close to the river, which seems to have forced its way with difficulty through them; but all at once it opens into another spacious plain, from which the hills recede on either hand to a great distance, and then close again; and after another temporary confinement among rocks and hills and woods, the river once more waters another plain of great extent. Such is the general character of the Don, - nowhere rapid, but in general flowing through level fields so little elevated above the usual surface, that, when violent rain falls, it bursts its bounds at once, and covers a great extent of country, which then appears to be an immense body of water interspersed with islands, houses, trees, and other rural objects. Too often on these occasions it commits extensive and calamitous depredations, - sweeping off whole fields of corn, and leaving nothing behind but want and desolation. *** A great part of the haugh-land is now protected by embankment on the lands of Fintray and Wester Fintray, extending to upwards of 6000 ells in length, and protecting from 200 to 300 Scotch acres of very fine rich land, from the river floods. Similar embankments have been made for the protection of the haugh-lands in most other parts of the river's course." Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland
