Esset, a troutful burn of Tullynessle parish, Aberdeenshire, rising among the Correen Hills, at an altitude of 1300 feet above sea-level, and running 6½ miles south-eastward across the middle of the parish, till it falls into the Don 9 furlongs below the Bridge of Alford. It has a total descent of nearly 900 feet; drives nine or ten mills during the last 2½ miles of its course; is subject to great freshets; and in the years 1829 and 1835 became for some hours a devastating and overwhelming torrent.—Ord. Sur., sh. 76, 1874.
