In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Miltonhaven like this:
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.
The location used is on the shore just south of Milton of Mavers. The RCAHMS Canmore system gives the coordinate of Milton Ness, just to the south.
