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 abounds with salmon, so as to form one of the greatest salmon-fishings in Scotland. Over this river there is a bridge of seven arches, built by a bishop of Aberdeen, who left for its support a revenue, which is now so large, that in order to exhaust the fund, a person has a salary to sweep the bridge once a day.
