Warning Sign
The maps are pretty misleading here. I expected to see an open watercourse, not a vegetated hollow, but I was not about to experiment to find out how dry, or alternatively how deep, it was. The many warning signs like this one are very necessary.

Canal Feeder
This rather overgrown waterway is the northern part of the canal, through which the canal was supplied with water from a sluice on the River Don. As you can see, it's deep and rather overgrown with vegetation. Not a good place for a swim, voluntarily or otherwise.

Mill Lade
The lade diverges here from the River Don, but the wall on the left looks too modern to be original.

Remains of the Aberdeenshire Canal
The Aberdeenshire Canal, which connected Aberdeen Harbour and Inverurie (Port Elphinstone), opened in 1805 but it was rapidly made obsolete by the railway and it closed in 1854 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeenshire_Canal ). This fragment, connecting to the River Don at 90 deg in the background, found further use as a lade (millstream).
