Description Continued. Impey Murchison Bart: [Baronet] K. C. B. [Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath] President of the Royal Geographical Society, accompanied by Professor Ramsay of the London University, carefully examined this quarry and neighbourhood in search of fossils, but found none. Sir Roderick however, after inspecting the "Corby's Tongue" a little higher up the Bogie, predicted that fossils peculiar to the old Red formation, would yet be found there. About one mile to the South West of this quarry is the Hill of Tombreach (uniform pronunciation in the Country Towanrief), which almost wholly consists of Serpentine of an ugly striped color, but containing numerous fine specmins of asbestos, both fibrous and indurable together with Mountain Wood charged with Schiller Spar in beautiful variety, as also Soapstone and the other minerals usually associated with serpentine. The Hill of Tombreach (Towanrief) is on the Craig Estate, and I have been informed that. [Continued p. 4] |

Ordnance Survey - Aberdeen county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
