047 ; 048 ; 056 ; 057 | "This Parish is situated in the district of Formartine. It is bounded on the South by the Parish of Belhelvie, on the west by the parish of Udny, on the north by the burn of Tarty, from the parish of Logie Buchan, and by the river Ythan, from the Sands of Forvie, on the east by the German Ocean. It extends about seven miles from east to west, and about three from South to North. The river Ythan is about a quarter of a mile East of the village. It is here of a serpentine form, and is navigable nearly a mile and a half. The River abounds with Salmon, Sea Trout, flounders and a great many other small fish, but it is chiefly famed for its abundant produce of Mussels. it is well known that there is little wood on this part of the East Coast of Scotland, but the plantations around Foveran House and Ythan Lodge have thriven tolerably well. In the western part of the parish, where Mr Hunter of Tillery built, a few years ago, a handsome and commodious house, and laid out the ground with great taste, wood grows very rapidly. Foveran has its name from the castle here, which is very old, and is thought to be so called from a sweet and very impetuous spring (at the foot of the wall, having an arch built over it) for the Irish 'Foveran' signifies a Spring."

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
