Drewry writes that the river Deveron is one of the major rivers of N.E Scotland. It rises in the hills N.W. of Alford and flows through Huntly being joined by the Bogie. Huntly Castle, home of the Clan Gordon chiefs, was built at this confluence. The Deveron reaches the Moray Firth between the towns of Banff and Macduff.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
