Aberdeenshire ( Scots : Aiberdeenshire ; Scottish Gaelic : Siorrachd Obar Dheathain ) is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland . It takes its name from the County of Aberdeen which has substantially different boundaries . The Aberdeenshire council area includes all of the area of the historic counties of Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire ( except the area making up the City of Aberdeen ) , as well as part of Banffshire . The county boundaries are officially used for a few purposes , namely land registration and lieutenancy . Aberdeenshire Council is headquartered at Woodhill House , in Aberdeen , making it the only Scottish council whose headquarters are located outside its jurisdiction . Aberdeen itself forms a different council area ( Aberdeen City ) . Aberdeenshire borders onto Angus and Perth and Kinross to the south , Highland and Moray to the west and Aberdeen City to the east . Traditionally , it has been economically dependent upon the primary sector ( agriculture , fishing , and forestry ) and related processing industries . Over the last 40 years , the development of the oil and gas industry and associated service sector has broadened Aberdeenshire 's economic base , and contributed to a rapid population growth of some 50% since 1975 . Its land represents 8% of Scotland 's overall territory . It covers an area of 6,313 square kilometres ( 2,437 sq mi ) .
The River Deveron ( Scottish Gaelic : Dubh Èireann ) , known anciently as the Dovern , is a river in the north east of Scotland . The river has a length of 60 miles ( 97 km ) , and has a reputation for its Atlantic salmon , sea trout and brown trout fishing . In its upper reaches peaty water flows over a bottom of shingle and rock and is fast flowing . The river has its source in the Ladder Hills between Glenbuchat and the Cabrach , part of the Grampian range . It begins as a small highland stream among peaty and heather covered country before leaving the hills and entering the rolling lowlands of fertile farmland . The two main streams in its upper course are the Alt Deveron and the Black Water . Some 17 miles downstream from the river 's source , the river passes through the town of Huntly , where it is joined by its tributary , the River Bogie . Four miles further downstream the Deveron 's second tributary , the River Isla flows in from the northwest . From this point on the Deveron becomes a mature river , pursuing a winding course through Turriff and finally flowing into the Moray Firth between the twin towns of Banff and Macduff . The Deveron is the dark-rolling stream Duvranna of James Macpherson 's Ossian .
The Ythan /ˈaɪθən/ is a river in the north-east of Scotland rising at Wells of Ythan near the village of Ythanwells and flowing south-eastwards through the towns of Fyvie , Methlick and Ellon before flowing into the North Sea near Newburgh , in Formartine . The lower reach of the river is known as the Ythan Estuary , a Special Protection Area for conservation , particularly the breeding ground of three tern species ( common tern , little tern and Sandwich tern ) ( Lumina , 2004 ) . The River Ythan has a length of 60 km and a catchment area of 680 km2 . As figures of the discharge , 6 m3/s or 7,2 m3/s are given .
Argyll and Bute ( Scottish Gaelic : Earra-Ghàidheal agus Bòd , pronounced [ ɛrˠəˈɣɛːəlˠ̪ akəs̪ ˈpɔːtʲ ] ) is one of 32 unitary authority council areas in Scotland and a lieutenancy area . The administrative centre for the council area is in Lochgilphead .
River Shira ( Siara / Abhainn Siara in Gaelic ) is the river that runs through Glen Shira , originating from a dammed loch to the north . The river includes a few waterfalls and islands , including Eilean an Eagail ( The Island of Fear ) . It eventually flows into a dubh loch , where the Ancient Clan MacNaghten castle and crannogs used to be , and then by Stuart Liddells house and into Loch Shira and Loch Fyne . The river lends its name to the glen it runs through and the sea loch it drains into , which in turn lends its name to the MV Loch Shira . The short section of river between the Dhub Loch and Loch Fyne is known as the River Garron . Coordinates : 56°14′N 5°03′W / 56.233°N 5.050°W / 56.233 ; -5.050
Clackmannanshire ( /klækˈmænənˌʃɪər , -ʃər/ ( listen ) ; Scottish Gaelic : Siorrachd Chlach Mhannainn ) is a historic county and council area in Scotland , bordering the council areas of Stirling , Fife and Perth & Kinross and the historic counties of Perthshire , Stirlingshire and Fife . The name is derived from three languages the first Scottish Gaelic : Clach meaning Stone , Mannan is a derivative of the Brythonic name of the Iron Age tribe the Manaw , who inhabited the area , and the English word shire . As Britain 's smallest historic county , it is often nicknamed The Wee County . When written , Clackmannanshire is commonly abbreviated to Clacks .
The River Forth is a major river , 47 km ( 29 mi ) long , whose drainage basin covers much of Stirlingshire in Scotland 's Central Belt . The Gaelic name is Abhainn Dubh , meaning black river , in the upper reach above Stirling . Below the tidal reach , ( just after being crossed by the M9 motorway ) its name is Uisge For .
Inch or Alloa Inch ( Scottish Gaelic : innis , island ) is an island in the tidal reaches of the River Forth near Alloa , just before the river opens out into the Firth of Forth . There is a derelict farmhouse on the island , as the land was farmed in the past . Due to subsidence caused by nearby coal mining , flood defences were breached . The land now consists of reed beds and salt marshes . The Scottish Wildlife Trust has managed the island as a reserve since 1996 . The smaller islet of Tullibody Inch lies just upstream .
Dumfries and Galloway ( Scots : Dumfries an Gallowa ; Scottish Gaelic : Dùn Phrìs is Gall-Ghaidhealaibh ) is one of 32 unitary council areas of Scotland and is located in the western Southern Uplands . It comprises the historic counties of Dumfriesshire , Stewartry of Kirkcudbright and Wigtownshire , the latter two of which are collectively known as Galloway . The administrative centre is the town of Dumfries . Following the 1975 reorganisation of local government in Scotland , the three counties were joined to form a single region of Dumfries and Galloway , with four districts within it . Since the Local Government etc . ( Scotland ) Act 1994 , however , it has become a unitary local authority . For lieutenancy purposes , the historic counties are largely maintained with its three lieutenancy areas being Dumfries , Wigtown and the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright . To the north , Dumfries and Galloway borders East Ayrshire , South Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire ; in the east the Borders ; and to the south the county of Cumbria in England and the Solway Firth . To the west lies the Irish Sea .
The River Annan ( Abhainn Anann in Gaelic ) is a river in south-west Scotland . It rises Annanhead Hill and flows through the Devil 's Beef Tub , Moffat and Lockerbie , reaching the sea at Annan , Dumfries and Galloway .
The River Cree is a river in Dumfries and Galloway , Scotland which runs through Newton Stewart and into the Solway Firth . It forms part of the boundary between the counties of Wigtownshire and Kirkcudbrightshire . The tributaries of the Cree are the Minnoch , Trool , Penkiln and Palnure which drain from the Range of the Awful Hand , the labyrinthine range of mountains and lochs , bogs , burns and crags , rising at its highest to The Merrick , Galloway ( 2764 ft above sea level ) , 12 miles to the north and visible from Newton Stewart . The River Cree provided a route from the coast into the forested hinterland . Then it became the boundary between communities living on either side , dividing the County , or Shire , of Wigtownshire from the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright . It also divides the parish of Penninghame from the parish of Minnigaff and the town of Newton Stewart from the villages of Creebridge and Minnigaff , thus identifying a variety of administrative entities . There were very few bridges until the 18th century and tolls and local customs duties could be levied at such crossing points . The Cree was also the source of power for the textile mills built in Newton Stewart in the 18th century when water power was a key element in industrial development . Most of the time , the Cree is fordable and the old site of the main ford , just below the present bridge , is still detectable in the street layout of Newton Stewart . The location of the first , wooden bridge and the boat ferry are still identifiable local landmarks just to the north of the present bridge . A new steel bridge , the Sparling Bridge , was strung across the river downstream of the Town Bridge in 1998 as part of an attractive riverside walk . This bridge is named after the fish - the sparling or smelt ( Osmerus eperlanus ) which still breeds in the estuary , one of only three sites in Scotland .
The River Dee ( Scottish Gaelic : Dè / Uisge Dhè ) , in south-west Scotland , flows from its source in Loch Dee amongst the Galloway Hills , firstly to Clatteringshaws Loch , then into Loch Ken , where it joins the Water of Ken . From there , the Dee flows 15 miles ( 24 km ) southwards to Kirkcudbright , and into Kirkcudbright Bay to reach the Solway Firth . The distance is just over 38 miles ( 61 km ) in total . Together with its tributaries , the Dee 's total catchment area is over 400 square miles ( 1,000 km2 ) . The river is dammed at Tongland , two miles ( 3 km ) upriver from Kirkcudbright . This was constructed as part of the Galloway hydro-electric power scheme in the 1930s . Also at this site is Tongland Bridge , built in 1806 by Thomas Telford . The ruins of Threave Castle stand on an island on the lower part of the Dee . In Ptolemy 's 2nd century work Geography it is recorded as Dēoúa . This form represents a development of Proto-Indo-European *deiueh2- ' a goddess ' , which occurs in many Celtic river-names . The Dee has also been known as the Black Water of Dee because of its dark colour in the stretch above Loch Ken . Loch Ken and the Dee Marshes were together designated a Ramsar site on August 21 , 1992 .
Threave Castle is situated on an island in the River Dee , 2.5 kilometres ( 1.6 mi ) west of Castle Douglas in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire in the Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland . Built in the 1370s by Archibald the Grim , it was a stronghold of the Black Douglases , Earls of Douglas and Lords of Galloway , until their fall in 1455 . For part of this time , the castle and the lordship of Galloway were controlled by Princess Margaret , daughter of King Robert III and widow of the 4th Earl . In 1449 Threave was regained by the 8th earl , Scotland 's most powerful magnate , who controlled extensive lands and numerous castles . He fortified Threave with an artillery house , a sophisticated defence for its time . The excessive power of the Black Douglas lords led to their overthrow by King James II in 1455 , after which Threave was besieged and captured by the King 's men . It became a royal castle , and in the 16th century hereditary responsibility for Threave was given to the Lords Maxwell . It was briefly held by the English in the 1540s , but did not see serious action until the Bishops ' Wars , when in 1640 a royalist garrison was besieged by a force of Covenanters . Partially dismantled , the castle remained largely unused until given into state care in 1913 . The ruins , comprising the substantially complete tower house and the L-shaped artillery house , are today maintained by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument . The castle complex is open to the public .
Highland ( Scottish Gaelic : A ' Ghàidhealtachd , pronounced [ ˈkɛːəl̪ˠt̪əxk ] ; [ a ] Scots : Heilan ) is a council area in the Scottish Highlands and is the largest local government area in the United Kingdom . It was the 7th most populous council area in Scotland at the 2011 census . It shares borders with the council areas of Aberdeenshire , Argyll and Bute , Moray and Perth and Kinross . Their councils , and those of Angus and Stirling , also have areas of the Scottish Highlands within their administrative boundaries . The Highland area covers most of the mainland and inner-Hebridean parts of the historic counties of Inverness-shire and Ross and Cromarty , all of Caithness , Nairnshire and Sutherland and small parts of Argyll and Moray .
The River Beauly ( Scottish Gaelic : Abhainn nam Manach , pronounced [ ˈavɪɲ nə ˈmanəx ] ) is a river in the Scottish Highlands , about 15 km west of the city of Inverness .

The river meanders as it flows east , passing to the south of the village of Beauly and into the Beauly Firth . The river was first bridged in about 1817 , when Thomas Telford constructed the five arched Lovat Bridge about 1 km south west of Beauly . This bridge carried the A9 , the main route north , until the Kessock Bridge was opened in 1982 . A railway bridge across the river on the outskirts of Beauly was built in the 1860s to carry the Inverness & Ross-shire Railway ( now the Far North Line ) . Another road bridge , near Kilmorack , was built in the 20th century .
Eilean Aigas ( NH4641 ) ( Scottish Gaelic : Eilean Àigeis ) is an island in the River Beauly , Scotland , in Kiltarlity parish in traditional Inverness-shire , now Highland Region . It is most notable for the mansion on it at its north end , which was formerly owned by the Sobieski Stuarts and rented by author and Scottish nationalist Compton Mackenzie from Lord Fraser of Lovat . It is joined to the bank by a narrow white bridge . The Eilean Aigas estate was owned by the Lovat Frasers until 1995 , when it was bought by King Chong Chai , a Malaysian businessman , for around £600,000 . Chai put the island up for sale in 2001 , for an asking price of £3 million . It was purchased by Brendan Clouston , a Canadian businessman , who was formerly president of Tele-Communications Inc . The house was built in 2006 , it is a replica of a 19th-century hunting lodge . In 2013 the estate was once again for sale , for offers over £15 million . It sold in 2015 for £3 million .
The Black Water ( Scottish Gaelic : An t-Alltan Dubh ) is a river in the Highlands of Scotland . It begins at the confluence of the Glascarnoch River with the Abhainn Srath a ' Bhàthaich , near where it is crossed by the Black Bridge , carrying the A835 road . It flows in a south-easterly direction past the village of Garve , then passing through Loch Garve and Loch na Cròic , and around Eilean nan Daraich . It flows over Rogie Falls , then past Contin , around Contin Island , before flowing into the River Conon near Moy Bridge .
Contin Island is an inhabited riverine islet in Ross and Cromarty within the Highland council area of Scotland . Located in the Black Water , a tributary of the River Conon , it is 2 kilometres ( 1.2 mi ) downstream from Rogie Falls and is connected to the village of Contin by both a road bridge and a footbridge .
The River Conon ( Scottish Gaelic : Conann ) is a river in the Highlands of Scotland . It begins at Loch Luichart , and flows in a south-easterly direction to be joined by the River Meig at Scatwell before passing through Loch Achonachie . It is joined by the Black Water at Moy Bridge , and the River Orrin at Urray , before flowing past Conon Bridge and into the Cromarty Firth ( and thence the Moray Firth and North Sea ) . The river is part of the Conon hydro-electric power scheme , with dams at Loch Luichart , Loch Meig and Loch Achonachie , and power stations at Luichart and Torr Achilty . There are several islands in the river , including Moy Island , Dunglass Island and Garrie Island . The river is said to have once been the home of a water horse .
Dunglass Island is an uninhabited island in the River Conon south-west of the village of Conon Bridge in the Highlands of Scotland . At approximately 40 hectares ( 99 acres ) in extent , it is one of Scotland 's largest freshwater islands .
The River Oykel ( Scottish Gaelic : Òiceall or Abhainn Òiceall , pronounced [ ˈa.ɪɲ ˈɔːçkʲəl̪ˠ ] ) is a major river in northern Scotland that is famous for its salmon fishing . It rises on Ben More Assynt , a few miles from Ullapool on the west coast of Scotland , and drains into the North Sea via the Kyle of Sutherland . Traditionally it has marked the boundary between Ross to the south and Sutherland to the north .
The River Ness ( Scottish Gaelic : Abhainn Nis ) is a river about 6 miles ( 10 kilometres ) long , which flows from the northern end of Loch Ness in Scotland , through Loch Dochfour , north-east to Inverness , with a total fall in height of about 16 metres ( 52 feet ) before discharging into the Beauly Firth . The river is the origin of the name of Inverness which is from the Scottish Gaelic : Inbhir Nis , meaning Mouth of the Ness .
The Ness Islands ( Scottish Gaelic : Na h-Eileanan Nis ) are situated on the River Ness , opposite the Bught Park , in the city of Inverness , Scotland . The first bridges to the islands were built in 1828 , prior to their construction the only access to the islands was by boat . The original bridges were washed away in the flood of 1849 and were replaced in 1853-1854 by two suspension bridges designed by William Dredge . The islands are a walking spot for tourists and locals alike , and the islands are home to a number of imported species of trees and home to wildlife such as bats and otters and occasionally deer . The area includes play facilities for children , and the Ness Islands miniature railway .
Snizort is an area of the Isle of Skye comprising the head of Loch Snizort and the western coast of Trotternish up to Uig , which is the largest settlement .
