    EXCURSIONS AND NOTES. CORRYHABBIE HILL, which was selected for the Club's COBRYHABBIE spring excursion on 1st May last, is fully described HILL. elsewhere, so that the chronicler for the day is ab- solved from all necessity of entering into topographical details. Probably the fact that the hill is little visited and is not very readily accessible led to a comparatively large attendance of members of the Club and friends, the company numbering 50. Pro- ceeding to Dufftown by an early train, the party, by special per- mission of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, drove to Glenfiddich. Lodge, noting on the way, of course, the ruins of Auchindoun Castle. From the lodge to the summit of Corryhabbie is a walk of three miles —"three good miles", as many of the pedestrians remarked as they plodded along the rough bridle-path, which at times was deep in water and at other times thickly covered with snow, and then across the long and comparatively level plateau, rather wet and spongy and coated with soft snow. The summit had hardly been gained, how- ever, when the mist descended and obscured the view; and the party may be said to have seen little except Ben Rinnes and Glenrinnes on the one side and Cook's Cairn on the other. The customary formal meeting was held at the cairn on the summit—Rev. Robert Semple, the Chairman of the Club, presiding. Mr. Copland, deprived of the opportunity of "showing" the mountains enumerated in his list, read (from Dr. Longmuir's " Speyside ") an interesting account of the battle of Glenlivet.
