Blackwater, a rivulet in Cabrach parish, Banffshire. It rises among high mountains, contiguous to the boundary with Aberdeenshire; runs about 8 miles northward and north-north-eastward to the Deveron at Dalriach; traverses a grandly Highland glen; has, in its basin, a shooting lodge and a deer forest, belonging to the Duke of Richmond; and is traditionally said to have had, on its banks, at a romantic part of its course, still called King's Haugh, a residence of Malcolm Ceannmor.
