Talk:River Don, Aberdeenshire

Comments
I have amended the article 'River Don, Aberdeenshire' - the original writer had written "The Dee follows a circuitous route eastward..."; as a born and bred Donsider, I have amended it to read, correctly, "The Don follows..."!

Length
A figure is given in the infobox for the length of the Don (131km / 81 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Due to this uncertainty I have, as with other rivers where dubious information has been presented, painstakingly measured its length on online OS 1:25000 scale mapping using a digital tool and determined it at 137.1km / 85.3 miles - I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within 0.5%. This is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:15, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
