A-bèidh Watson in Dwelly

A-béidh Watson- CW67, 142 [page entitled ‘From R Burn’]

A comparison of the Gaelic name with the present one shows that the latter, Aboyne, with its final n, is the older form of the two. The English sound now tends to follow the spelling Aboyne. But the dialect says Abine (phonetically abEin oe abeIn, the dipthong being about the same as in the Gaelic). MacDonald’s note in Place-names of the North Eastern Highlands, 168
