Inverurie Town
The Aberdeenshire town of Inverurie is just north of where the River Ury meets the River Don. The town was originally called Inverury (mouth of the Ury) until 1866 when the spelling was changed due to mail for the town often ending up in Inverary far away on the west coast of Scotland!

The Salmon above the Flood The Picts placed a stone carved with a salmon in the River Don at its safest crossing point, its meaning clear : When the salmon could be seen, the ford was passable; when the fish was not visible, the water was too deep. Alison Simpson, Sculptor, 2003
