Ano Ydroussa (Greek: Άνω Υδρούσσα, before 1928: Άνω Κόττορι – Ano Kottori)[2] is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.
The village in Ottoman Turkish was called Yukarı Kotor.[3] In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Ano Kottori was populated by 60 Christian Albanians and 168 Bulgarians.[4] Kanchov wrote that Christian Albanians of the late Ottoman period in Ano Kottori were increasingly being assimilated by its Bulgarian population.[5]
In the early twentieth century, Kato Kotori was involved with the Bulgarian national movement.[5] Immigrants from the village in Toronto, Canada participated in the early Bulgarian community to build church infrastructure.[6]
Ano Idrousa had 333 inhabitants in 1981.[7] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Ano Idrousa was populated by Slavophones and Arvanites.[7] The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships.[7] Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.[7]
