Bogie, a small river of NW Aberdeenshire. It is formed by the confluence of Corchinan, Glenny, and Craig burns, near the parish church of Auchindoir, and it runs north-north-eastward and northward, along a fine valley called from it Strathbogie, to the river Deveron, about ¼ mile below Huntly. It drains a teiritory about 14 miles long and 8 broad, in the parishes of Kildrummy, Auchindoir, Rhyine, Clatt, Kinnethmont, Gartly, Drumblade, and Huntly; and it supplies the bleachfields of Huntly town with abundance of soft pure water. It is subject to great freshets, and in the floods of 1829 it worked great devastation at Huntly. Its waters contain excellent trout.
