038 | The Ythan - the Ituna of the ancients - which bounds the district of Buchan on the south, takes its rise in the upper part of the parish of Forgue, from three springs called The Wells of Ythan, which, uniting their waters at about twenty or thirty yards below their source, form a very respectable rivulet. Half a mile below, the Ythan receives its first tributary, a clear bright stream from the glen of Aldovie, at the western base of the Kirkhill of Logie, near the summit of which there are the remains of three Druidical circles. From this point the stream flows in a northerly direction, till it reaches the Mill of Knockleith, at which place it becomes the boundary of the upper district of Buchan. It then runs in a more easterly line till it reaches Towie Barclay; after which it takes a south-easterly direction to the port of the Newburgh; and a little below this place it discharges its waters into the German Ocean, after a course of about thirty miles.
