About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1846 Excerpt: ...As the stream of tide in the offing sets to the southward with considerable strength, at a great distance from shore, it follows, that the length of time between the time of high water on shore and the time of high water in the offing, will be in proportion; and we find that the stream runs to the southward in the offing, 3 hours after high water on shore. Gales of wind from between W.S.W. and N.W., raise the tide higher, and cause the stream of flood to run some time longer in the offing. Easterly and S.E. winds have a contrary effect. The velocity of tide is greatest against the projecting points, as at Buchan Ness, Fife Ness, St. Abb's Head, &c. &c.; as also in passing over the fishing-banks off the coast, upon which the stream runs longer than in other parts, after it changes on shore. In the bays which fall out of the course of the tide, on the contrary; as between Montrose and John's Haven, and Aberdeen and Slain's Castle, the current runs slowly, and turns sooner in proportion: but in the Frith, and other inlets, where the stream sets almost directly in, the current becomes stronger, according to the decrease of breadth or depth. Off the mouth of the Frith and St. Andrew's Bay, the tide is affected in its course by the flood setting in, and drawing the latter part of the ebb and first of flood, which answer to the in-land flood, in shore; and the Frith's ebbs, forcing the latter part of flood and first of ebb, from shore. The stream off Buchan Ness is the strongest on this coast, and runs with a velocity of about 4 knots in springs, and 2 on neaps; and with neaps, the tide is sooner at its height, and does not run so long as with springs. At 6 miles off the Ness, the stream of flood runs till 2 o'clock; and at 12 miles off, till 3. The...
