Strathbogie, Scotland

Strathbogie is a district and valley of northwest Aberdeenshire in Scotland, formerly one of the great divisions of that shire, called lordships or thanages, comprehending the whole original estate that King Robert the Bruce gave to the noble family of Gordon, the ancestors of the Duke of Gordon.[1] By 1836, the lordship had become extinct.

Geography

It extends over an area of 120 square miles (310 km²), which includes arable and uncultivated land, stretching east and west of the River Bogie,[2] which discharges itself into the River Deveron at Huntly at the centre, which was the town of the Chief.[1]
