Dilty, a morass in Carmylie and Guthrie parishes, Forfarshire, 1¼ mile ESE of Kirkbuddo station. Measuring about ½ mile either way, it sends off two streamlets in opposite directions-the head-stream of the Elliot running eastward directly to the sea, and a tributary streamlet running westward to the river Dean.
