River Ythan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ythan is a river in the east of Scotland flowing into the North Sea near Newburgh, in Buchan. The name is believed to have originated from an old Pictish word of Brythonic origin meaning gorse.
The lower reach of the river is known as the Ythan Estuary, a Special Protection Area for conservation, particularly the breeding ground of three tern species (Common Tern, Little Tern and Sandwich Tern) (Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire, Lumina Technologies, Aberdeen Library archives, June, 2004).
