Strathbogie (Scottish Gaelic: ''Srath Bholgaidh'' or ''Srath Bhalgaidh'') is a district and river valley of northwest Aberdeenshire in Scotland, formerly one of the great divisions of that shire, called lordships or thanages, comprehending the whole original estate that King Robert the Bruce gave to the noble family of Gordon, the ancestors of the Duke of Gordon. By 1836, the lordship had become extinct. Name Strathbogie is first documented as "Strathbolgyn", a name which incorporates the elements ''strath'' meaning "broad valley"; ''bolg'', meaning "bag" or "belly"; and ''-aidh'', a suffix indicating an adjective.
