| FORT [Mither Tap] | Camp Camp Camp |
Sir J.D. Elphinstone Bart. [Baronet] Col. [Colonel] H.K. Erskine Pittodrie Mr. Stronach, Raehill |
053 | A very perfect supposed British encampment on the summit of the Mither Tap, a peak of the Bennachie range. The natural precipitous rock has been taken advantage of wherever possible, and where more easily assailed a very large bank of stones has been thrown up connecting the points of rock. The principal approach into the Camp seems to have been on the east side, but the road which led from it to the lower country comes in on the west at a point where entrance is more difficult. Another road from the principal entrance joins the main road at the foot of the Nether Maiden, and from thence the road runs eastward into the woods of Pittodrie. There is a well in the camp. |

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.
