River Muick
River Muick (/mɪk/) is a river of the Grampian Mountains of Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] A tributary of the River Dee,[2] it flows for about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the southeastern hill area around Lochnagar into Loch Muick on Balmoral Estate.
It has a catchment area of 110 square kilometres (42 sq mi).[3] The river is described as meandering "tightly across the wide valley floor, filled with glacial deposit which has been partly worked flat by the river".[4]
The river is inhabited by salmon.[5] In the mid 19th century specimens of Melampyrum sylvaticum and Hieracium boreale were collected along the banks.[6]
