Cruick Water, a stream of NE Forfarshire, rising at the northern extremity of Fearn parish, and running 15¾ miles south-south-eastward and east-north-eastward through Fearn, Menmuir, and. Stracathro, till it falls into the North Esk, 5 furlongs E of Stracathro church. A capital trouting stream, but possessed of little beauty, it descends from 1480 to 118 feet above sea-level, and becomes after heavy rains a voluminous and furious torrent, though dwindling to a mere rill in time of drought.- Ord. Sur., sh. 57, 1868.
