DEE, the name of several rivers in Scotland and England; as those whereon the cities of Chester in England, and New Aberdeen in Scotland, are situated. The river Dee in Aberdeenshire rises in the mountains of Mar forest, and falls into the German ocean at Aberdeen. It abounds with salmon, so as to form a considerable salmon fishing. Over this river there is a fine bridge of seven arches, built by a bishop of Aberdeen, who left a revenue for its support.
