Also see the dance Linn Of Dee Medley (McGhee) by Beryl McGhee.Linn is another word for a pool, usually scoured out over thousands of years by the vortex of swirling waters.
The River Dee is a river in Aberdeenshire, Scotland rising in the Cairngorms and flowing through southern Aberdeenshire to reach the North Sea at Aberdeen. The area it passes through is known as Deeside, or Royal Deeside in the region between Braemar and Banchory.
At the Linn of Dee the young River Dee passes through a 300-metre-long natural rock gorge on the Mar Lodge Estate (managed by the National Trust For Scotland since 1995). The river continues east through Royal Deeside before reaching the North Sea at Aberdeen.
This dance follows the river's course from the Cairngorm Mountains to the sea.
