STONEHIVE, or STONEHAVEN, a small town in the county of Kincardine, in Scotland, 15 miles south from Aberdeen. It was built in the time of Charles II, and stands at the foot of some high cliffs, in a small bay, with a rocky bottom, opening a little in one part, so that small vessels may find admittance, but only at high water. A pier runs out from the harbour on the north side to secure them after their entrance. The town contains about 800 inhabitants. The manufactures are fail-cloths and otnaburghs, knit worsted and thread stockings.
