    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.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 037, 1911
    CLIMBS IN GLEN CLOVA AND GLEN DOLL. BY HOWARD G. DRUMMOND. To discover a district teeming with virgin climbs within a short distance of one's native city is a blessing undreamt of by the mountaineer of to-day, when almost every rock face of comparatively easy access has been at least tested by his brethren of the mountain and the crag. Many on high level tramps from Braemar to Clova must have gazed on the frowning precipices of Craig Bennet and Craig Maud, many must have peered from the shores of Loch Brandy across the sunlit valley into the dark recesses of the Winter Corrie of Driesh, hut none seem to have craved the stern joy of an assault on their steep ramparts. Pos- sibly they lacked time, or had read Mr. Duncan's article •on the Clova Hills (C.C.J, vol. Ill, page 1) and concluded that the climbs afforded by these faces were either mere scrambles or impossible. On New Year's day, 1910, two strangers to the Glen, J. A. Parker and myself (H. Alexander, Jun., the origi- nator of the idea unfortunately having been recalled to Aberdeen) were able to record a climb on the east face of Craig Rennet, and on 2nd January, with J. Bruce Miller, an ascent of the west face of Winter Corrie, Driesh. These expeditions have been recorded by Parker in an article in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, (vol. xi., page 29). I will therefore, for the benefit of those to whom that paper is not available, give a short acount of Thethese climbsCairngorm, partially extracted with his kin dClub permission from that article, and confine myself more particularly to our adventures of 3rd January, 1911, when we barley escaped defeat in an attack on the north-eastern face of Craig Maud.

The town, which sits below Balmashanner Hill, has been a Royal Burgh since the 12th century, but only really flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries when the wetlands were drained and agriculture developed.
