Govel, or Elrick Burn, a rivulet of New Machar parish, SE Aberdeenshire, running 8 miles south-south-eastward till it falls into the Don, ¼ mile above the bridge of Dyce. It is crossed, near its mouth, by a stone bridge built and endowed by a travelling merchant, who nearly lost his life here in a snow-storm.—Ord. Sur., sh. 77, 1873.
