Kincardineshire (or Mearns), maritime co. in NE.
of Scotland; is bounded NW. and N. by Aberdeen-
shire, E. by the North Sea, and SW. by Forfarshire ;
greatest length, N. and S., 25 miles; greatest breadth,
E. and W., 22 miles; coast-line, from the mouth of
the North Esk to the month of the Dee, 31 miles;
245,346 ac., pop. 34,464. The coast is, in general, bold
and rocky, but its indentations form fine natural har-
bours for numerous fishing villages. In the NW. the
co. is occupied by the Grampian Mountains, which
reach in Mount Battock an alt. of 2558 ft.; towards
the N. it slopes into the valley of the Dee, and towards
the S. into the Howe of the Mearns, a part of the great
valley of Strathmore. The mountainous region is occu-
pied chiefly by deer forests and grouse moors; the
valley of the Dee and the Howe of the Mearns are
•both productive, but the most fertile part of the co. is
that along the sea coast. (For agricultural statistics,
see Appendix.) There are no minerals of commercial
importance, and the mfrs. are confined to some woollen
and linen weaving. Fishing—including salmon fishing,
both on the coast and on the rivers—is actively prose-
cuted, and there is some shipping at Stonehaven. The
co. comprises 17 pars, and 4 parts, the pari, and royal
burgh of Inverbervie (Montrose Burghs), the seaport of
Stonehaven, and the vils. of Auchinblae, Banchory, Cove,
