The Water of Cruden is a short broadly east-flowing river in Buchan in northeast Scotland. Its headwaters streams rise in the countryside north of Ellon and combine to flow through the village of Hatton and onward to the village of Cruden Bay where it then enters the North Sea at the north end of the Bay of Cruden. It is crossed at various points by the A952, A90 and A975 roads. The harbour of Port Erroll stands at the point that the tidal channel enters the sea. The name Cruden is said to derive from Gaelic 'croch Dain' signifying the 'slaughter of the Danes. referencing the Battle of Cruden.
