The River Bogie (Scottish Gaelic : Balgaidh), also known as the Water of Bogie, is a river in north-west Aberdeenshire in the north east of Scotland. It is noted for its brown trout fishing.
Starting with the confluence of the Craig and Corchinan burns ( 57°17′39″N2°53′28″W / 57.2943°N 2.8910°W ), near the parish of Auchindoir and Kearn, the River Bogie flows northeast for about 11 miles through Strathbogie to Rhynie and Huntly, immediately after which it joins the River Deveron ( 57°27′31″N2°46′08″W / 57.4587°N 2.7690°W ), of which it forms one of the two main tributaries.
