The burn that runs through Insch has the unusual name of the Shevock and joins the River Urie a few km to the east. A footbridge now crosses it to access new housing developments to the south of the burn. According to Celtic Placenames in Aberdeenshire by John Milne, 'shevock' means 'placid little burn'.
