Water of Aven

Water of Aven

The Water of Aven (or A'an) is a tributary of the Water of Feugh, itself the largest tributary of the River Dee, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Water of Aven rises at Loch Tennet, where the historic counties of Aberdeenshire, Angus and Kincardineshire meet and flows for approximately 15km to its confluence with the Feugh near Whitestone [Ordnance Survey Landranger Map 44: Ballater & Glen Clova)] [Ordnance Survey Landranger Map 45: Stonehaven & Banchory)] . The Water of Aven forms the historic boundary between Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire for it's entire length [ [http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/counties/countyhistory16.html Gazetter for Scotland, accessed 26 August 2008] ] and the lower 4.5km are designated as part of the River Dee Special Area of Conservation, due to its importance for Atlantic Salmon and Eurasian Otter [ [http://www.snh.org.uk/snhi/ SNH Sitelink] ] .
