Blackwater, a small river of the SE of Sutherland. It rises on Ben-an-Armuinn, near the meeting-point of Clyne, Kildonan, and Farr parishes; runs 2 miles south-westward across the head of Clyne parish; proceeds 3½ miles southward, along the boundary between Clyne and Rogart; then goes about 10 miles south-westward, through the interior of Clyne; receives, on its left bank, the tributary Skinsdale Water; and falls into the Brora, 17/8 mile WNW of the head of Loch Brora. Its early course lies through morassy moors, which give a dark tinge to its waters; and its later course lies along a deep rocky channel, and is strikingly romantic. Two cascades occur on it, respectively near Balnakyle and at Kilcolmkill, both very magnificent when the stream is in flood; and the latter is much visited by tourists.
