Lunan Water

The Lunan Water is an easterly flowing coastal River in Angus, Scotland that discharges to the North Sea a few miles north of the town of Arbroath. [United Kingdom Ordnance Survey Map Landranger 45, 1:50,000 scale, 2004] Draining chiefly agricultural lands, this stream has a moderate level of turbidity and a pH level of approximately 8.7. [C.M. Hogan, "History of Muchalls Castle", Natural History Section, Aberdeen (2005)] Other nearby watercourses discharging to the North Sea include River North Esk and River South Esk both to the north.
