Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Milton

Milton, a fishing village in St Cyrus parish, Kincardineshire, 1¾ mile SW of Johnshaven. It once was a place of some importance, but since about 1790 has suffered much injury from encroachment of the sea and other causes, and now is both small and ruinous. A strong chalybeate spring in its vicinity enjoyed, for some time, considerable medicinal repute.
