In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Don like this:
Don.-- river, S. Aberdeenshire; rises near the Banffshire border, and flows E. to the sea 1 mile NE. of Old Aberdeen, and 21/2 miles N. of mouth of Dee; is 82 miles long, and is one of the best fishing streams in Scotland.
Don is now part of ABERDEENSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ABERDEENSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Don itself, go to Statistics.
