Clunie Water, a stream of Crathie and Braemar parish, SW Aberdeenshire, formed by two head-streams, Baddoch Burn and Allt Bhruididh, which rise at 2500 feet above sea-level, close to the Perthshire and Forfarshire borders. Thence it runs 7 miles north-by-eastward along rocky Glen Clunie, and falls into the Dee, 1 mile below Castleton of Braemar. Its chief affluent is Callader Burn. The Queen's ` last expedition ' with the Prince Consort (16 Oct. 1861) lay up Glen Clunie.—Ord. Sur., sh. 65, 1870.
