The River Bogie, also known as the Water of Bogie, is a river in North West Aberdeenshire, It is noted for its brown trout fishing. During the 19th century, the Bogie provided the linen bleachfields of Huntly, then a major textile centre, with water. Bogieside, the area along the banks of the river, is often referred to in local literature and folk songs, such as Adieu tae Bogieside and Bogie's Bonnie Belle.
