Bervie (Gael. bir-bhuidhe, ` pleasant stream '), a river of Kincardineshire, formed by four head-streams that rise in the NE corner of Fordoun parish at an altitude of some 1200 feet above sea-level. To Bervie Bay it takes a course of 19¼ miles, all of it east-south-eastward, excepting the 3¾ miles from Mondynes Bridge to near Fordoun station, where it bends to the SSW; and on its right it has Fordoun, Garvock, and Bervie parishes, on its left Glenbervie, Arbuthnott, and Kinneff. Its waters contain trout (running up to 1 lb.) and sea-trout, with occasional salmon and grilse; and its banks are adorned by the parks of Glenbervie, Kair, Arbuthnott, and Allardice.
