Unpublished Place Names in Upper Deeside by Adam Watson and Ian
Unpublished Place Names on Upper Deeside 375 Unpublished Place Names in Upper Deeside Adam Watson and Ian Murray Introduction Below we list and discuss names that we have found since the publication of a book The Place Names of Upper Deeside by Watson and Allan (1984), for the sake of brevity called Wa below. One of us (IM) came across a few while interviewing local residents for his own book on local history and folklore (1992), and he told AW. It excited us to find a few 'new names', and we thought that a brief note about them would be worth publishing. To make sure, however, we decided to do more interviews and more searching of old papers and maps. This was the tip of a wee iceberg, revealing scores of new names. Below we give the results of our two decades of intermittent effort, involving many visits to places as well as numerous interviews and searches of old sources. Our collection is unusual in containing much history as well as place names, for instance connections between some names and Queen Victoria at Balmoral, such as the Eagle Hoose, the Elephant's Graveyard, and the Irons. If readers know or come across any name in upper Deeside that appears to be absent from the lists in Watson and Allan (1984, 1988) and the present account, we would be pleased to be informed. Place names are an important part of local identity, but many are disappearing with the passing of older generations. It is good that the names of places in this fine part of Scotland be recorded, now and in future. -

Victoria & Albert's Highland Fling
PROGRAMME 2 VICTORIA & ALBERT’S HIGHLAND FLING Introduction The Highlands are renowned throughout the world as a symbol of Scottish identity and we’re about to find out why. In this strenuous four-day walk we’re starting out at Pitlochry – gateway to the Cairngorms National Park – on a mountainous hike to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral. Until the 19th century, this area was seen by many as a mysterious and dangerous land. Populated by kilt-wearing barbarians, it was to be avoided by outsiders. We’re going to discover how all that changed, thanks in large part to an unpopular German prince and his besotted queen. .Walking Through History Day 1. Day 1 takes us through the Killiecrankie Pass, a battlefield of rebellious pre-Victorian Scotland. Then it’s on to an unprecedented royal visit at Blair Castle. Pitlochry to Blair Atholl, via the Killiecrankie Pass and Blair Castle. Distance: 12 miles Day 2. Things get a little more rugged with an epic and challenging hike through Glen Tilt. Then it’s on to Mar Lodge estate where we’ll discover how the Clearances made this one of the emptiest landscapes in Europe, and a playground for the rich. Blair Atholl to Mar Lodge, via Glen Tilt. Distance: 23 miles Day 3. Into Royal Deeside, we get a taste of the Highland Games at Braemar, before reaching the tartan palace Albert built for his queen at Balmoral. Mar Lodge to Crathie, via Braemar and Balmoral Castle Distance: 20 miles Day 4. On our final day we explore the Balmoral estate. -
