OS1/1/66/29 RIVER DON Don (The) The Don Don River River Don River Don River Don River Don River Don Fullarton's Gazetteer Old Statistical Account County Map New Statistical Account Guide to Donside Mr. Alexander Watt Mr. G. Cruikshanks Mr. J. Christie 066 "A river in 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 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 Strath-Don, which it divides into two equal parts, it is joined on both sides by 7 or 8 burns, seperated from each other by considerable hills, and most of them running through deep hollows, and glens. The principal are the Einan 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 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 considerably tributary which there enlarges it is the Den burn from the south; when immediately it turns to the north again between Kenmay and part of Chapel-Garioch parishes, and arrives at a point a little to the south of the royal burgh of Inverury, where, in its northward bank stands the building formerly occupied as a 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 [Continued on page 30]
OS1/1/66/29 [Page] 29 Parish of Newhills
OS1/1/66/30 RIVER DON Continued [Continued from page 29] parish and the lowlands of Kintore on the south, and the mountainous part of Keithall 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 Itima (Ythan) 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 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' Balgownie, 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 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 side 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 its usual surface, that, when violent rains falls, it bursts its banks 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. ****A great part of the haugh-land is now protected by imbankments 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 land, from the river floods. Similar imbankments have been made for the protection of the haugh-lands in most other parts of the river's course." Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland

OS1/1/66/44 CHURCH (In Ruins) [nr Woodend] Church (In Ruins) Church (In Ruins) Church (In Ruins) Mr. Stewart Mr. Thompson Mr. Dawson 074 This was once used as the Parish Church of Newhills - but was disused after the erection of the New Church, about the year 1830. The roof is now off it, but the walls remain entire, The burying ground for the Parish adjoins this ruin. Mr George Davidson, of Pettens, a burgess of Aberdeen, - and who had amassed a considerable fortune, and risen entirely by his own industry, - mortified for the endowment of a resident clergyman in this western part of St Machar, or Old Machar, the lands of "Keppelhills," consisting of nearly 700 Scotch acres, which he had previously purchased from the Town of Aberdeen. He also caused a church to be built upon these mortified lands, about 5 miles distant from Saint Machar; and all at his own expense in the year 1663. This place of worship, therefore, was originally a chapel of ease, and had continued to be so for about three years. The death of Mr Davidson did not prevent the incorporation of the new church with the established church; for in 1666 the persons interested in the concern, and authorised to act, applied to the Lords Commissioners for Planting Kirks for a disjunction of a certain district of St Machar around the church built by Mr Davidson, and its erection into a separate parish which application having the consent of all parties, was successful, and the decrees of the Lords Commissioners accordingly was obtained that year. Since that time the parish has continued separate and distinct, and possesses all the rights which belong to other parishes of the Established Church of Scotland. New Statistical Account.

OS1/1/66/63B O.S.O. [Ordnance Survey Office] Southampton 11th May 1869 Captain Wilson I send you herewith extracts from the Name Books of the parishes of Newhills, Peterculter & Skene Co. [County] Aberdeen, relative to the spelling of the word Brodiach; - please to say which is the correct mode of spelling of this name. [Signed] RM Parsons, Captain R.E. [Royal Engineers] O.S.O. [Ordnance Survey Office] Inverness 19th May 1869 Captain Parsons R.E. [Royal Engineers] From information received I find that "Broadiach" is the correct mode of spelling this name and have assimilated the orthography in the Extracts from the Name Books of these parishes in accordance therewith & which are returned herewith. [Signed] G. Herbert Bolland Capt. R.Eng. [Captain Royal Engineers] 20-5-69. [20 May 1869]
OS1/1/66/63C [Page] 63c Broadiach When I suggested the change in the spelling of this name, I did not know the subject had been under consideration. My reasons for preferring Brodiach were - that this is the spelling in the Poll Book - that it is so given in the Val [Valuation] Roll of Skene & Newhills, though different properties - that Brod is prond. [pronounced] short, which is important - that it is a purely Gaelic name - & that according to local usage it is prond. [pronounced] Bro-deeach. In Skene are Broadshade, Broadtree, Broadstraik & Broadwater, all close to Brodiach, & it is very natural for country people to suppose that the spelling must be alike in every case. I think Broadford is near to Little Brodiach in Newhills parish, but am not absolutely certain. For these reasons I still think Brodiach is right. [Initialled] JMcD
