Ugie, a river of NE Aberdeenshire, issuing from a lochlet near Windyheads, in Aberdour parish, within 3 miles of the N coast, and running 21 miles, generally in a south-easterly direction, to the sea, 1¼ mile NW of the town of Peterhead, on the E coast. It runs, in its upper stretches, through Aberdour, Tyrie, the detached district of Aberdour, and Strichen; it next divides Strichen and Lonmay, on its left bank, from New Deer and Longside on its right; and it finally passes through Longside, and between St Fergus and Peterhead, to the sea. Its chief tributary, the Water of Deer or South Ugie Water, which joins it in Longside, has a course of 16½ miles, and almost contests the palm of being the parent stream. The Ugie is navigable for about 1½ mile from its mouth; and, as its lower course is slow and smooth, it might easily, and at a small expense, be rendered navigable for 6 or 8 miles.—Ord. Sur., shs. 87, 97, 1876.
