Daven, a triangular loch on the mutual border of Logie-Coldstone and Glenmuick parishes, Aberdeenshire, within ¼ mile of Loch Kinord, and 1½ mile NW of Dinnet station. Lying 480 feet above sea-level, it has an utmost length and breadth of 6 and 4¾ furlongs, contains pike and perch, and sends off Dinnet Burn running 2¼ miles SE to the Dee at Mill of Dinnet. Close to it are to be seen the remains of a native town, which Skene identifies with 'Devana,' a name preserved in that of the loch itself. See Aberdeen, p. 17.Ord. Sur., sh. 76,1874.
