River Quoich

River Quoich

The River Quoich or Quoich Water is a tributary of the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. [http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/quoich.htm Uk Rivers Guidebook: River Quoich] ] Along the course of the river, the hamlet Allanaquoich is situated. The river also has the Linn of Quoich, a waterfall through a narrow ravine, of which there is a bridge over the narrowest part. Near the bridge is the Earl of Mar's Punch Bowl - a natural hole in a rock midstream that was literally used as a punchbowl at the end of hunting deer in the neighbouring forest.

The Linn of Quoich has been the site of several deaths in recent years, including those of an overworked, suicidal male doctor [http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_headline=police-find-body-after-wife-s-plea-to-missing-naval-doc--&method=full&objectid=18958764&siteid=66633-name_page.html Daily Record: Police find body after wife's plea to missing naval doc] ] and a ten-year-old girl who fell into the river and drowned.
