About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. ON THE TOPS. I now ask the reader to imagine himself on the summit, and I shall proceed to speak of the more important tops, and tell what is notable or known of them. A single day will suffice for the tourist, and even give plenty of time for going over the most interesting tops. Indeed, a run can be made by starting from Aberdeen with the first afternoon train. But such diligence is not to be commended; only the fact is mentioned to show Aberdonians how near Bennachie is to them, and how easy the ascent is. A long day can be spent with pleasure; in such a case one can cross from the Gadie to the Don, or vice versa, but the excursion may be diversified and modified to any extent to suit the convenience of parties. There can be no difficulty, except in mist, in finding one's way from top to top, for the distances are so short and the tops so distinct that it is almost impossible to lose the way. At the same time it is but right to say that it is quite possible for a stranger to lose his way on Bennachie in a mist, for such was almost the fate of the writer on one occasion !
