Add (Gael. Avon-.Fhada, ' long river, ' Ptolemy's Longus Fuvius), a river of W Argyllshire, which, rising in marshes at the NW extremity of Glassary parish, runs along the valley of Glassary, and through the moss of Crinan, and falls into the sea at Inner Loch Crinan. It occasionally in heavy rains overflows its banks, and does much injury to adjacent fields. It abounds with trout, and there is a salmon fishery at its mouth.
