In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Dee like this:
Dee.-- river, partly of Kincardineshire but chiefly of Aberdeenshire; rises amongst the Cairngorm Mountains, on SW. border of Aberdeenshire, and flows E. past Castleton of Braemar, Ballater, and Aboyne, to the sea at Aberdeen; is 87 miles long, and is still one of the most finely wooded and one of the best fishing rivers in Britain; about 6 miles above Castleton of Braemar it forms a series of cascades called the Linn of Dee.
Dee is now part of ABERDEENSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ABERDEENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dee itself, go to Statistics.
