Blackwater, a small river of the NE of Perthshire. It rises near the summit of Cairnwell Mountain, on the northern border of Kirkmichael parish, adjacent to the boundary with Aberdeenshire; runs, under the name of Beg, through Glenbeg; debouches at the Spittal of Glenshee into Glenshee; receives there Tetnich Water, and takes there the name of Shee; runs about 6 miles, under the name of Shee, through Glenshee, takes then distinctively the name of Blackwater; runs about 5 miles between sections of Caputh, Bendochy, and Blairgowrie parishes on its right bank, and parts of Rattray and Alyth parishes on its left bank; and unites with the Ardle, 4 miles NNW of Blairgowrie town, to form the river Ericht. Its general direction is southward, and its entire length of course is about 20 miles.
