a handsome town of North Britain, in the shire of Angus, situated at the mouth of the river Esk, on the German Ocean, 46 miles north-east of Edinburgh.

Steel spaws are very numerous in the country round Montrose. Besides these, there is a well near this town, whose water is of a whitish colour, soft taste, and faintly discovering a mineral quality, and is of a different nature from the steel one. It is universally diuretic; and has been found useful in stranguries, scrofulous disorders, flatulencies, &c.
