077 | A mountain of the first class, in height and magnitude, situated about 10 miles north-west from the village of Castleton of Braemar on the boundary between the counties of Banff and Aberdeen. On its south-eastern face, there are two very conspicuous and immense hollows, whose west and eastern sides, consist of rugged masses of precipitous rocks, which are almost perpendicular and quite inaccessible; forming a piece of Alpine landscape unsurpassed in the district. The Name signifies "Hill of the Table". |
| BEINN A' CHAORUINN | Beinn a' Chaoruinn Beinn a' Chaoruinn Beinn a' Chaoruinn Beinn a' Chaoruinn |
Mr. J. Morgan Mr. A. McIntosh Mr. Alexander McDonald Mr. J. Edmonston |
077 | A prominent hill of secondary height and magnitude, situated between "Beinn Meadhon", and "Beinn a' "Bhùird", on the boundary between the Counties of Aberdeen and Banff. A doubt exists regarding the correct spelling and signification of this name. The meaning received was "Hill of the Roddan" or "Rowan tree", which is provincial for "Mountain Ash"; But being unable to find the name in McLeod's Dictionary, and its being pronounced as "Hill of the Cairn" it has been written in Gaelic "Beinn a' Chùirn" to agree with pronunciation. |
