May, Water of, a small river of the Ochil and Strathearn districts of Perthshire. Rising on John's Hill, at an altitude of 1250 feet, and near the meeting-point of Auchterarder, Wunning, Glendevon, and Fossoway parishes, it runs 11¼ miles east-north-eastward and north-north-westward through or along the boundaries of Dunning, Forgandenny, and Forteviot parishes, till, after a total descent of 1217 feet, it falls into the Earn at a point 5 furlongs S by W of Forteviot church. It receives numerous small tributaries from among the Ochils; traverses a wooded glen, rich in picturesque close scenes; makes two beautiful falls called Muckersie Linn and the Humble Bumble; passes the ` Birks of Invermay, ' celebrated in song; and is a first-rate troutstream, but very strictly preserved.—Ord. Sur., shs. 39, 40, 48, 1867-69.
