The parish of Crathie and Braemar is in the Presbytery of Kincardine O'Neil, and Synod of Aberdeen. Patron the Crown. At what time Braemar was united to Crathie is not Known, but there is every reason to believe it must have been far back, as nothing can be learned concerning it, either from the records of Session or Presbytery.
The parish is bounded on the east by the parish of Glenmuick Tullich and Glengairn; on the north by the parish of Strathdon and Kirkmichael the latter being in Banffshire; on the west by the parish of Alvie in Inverness-shire; and on the south by the parishes of Blair Athole and Kirkmichael in Perthshire, and the parishes of Glenisla and Clova in Forfarshire. There are no detached portions of this parish nor are there any detached portions of another parish situated within it. |

Margin - It is one parish & therefore Crathie & Braemar - not Crathie and Braemar [?]
[Note]
Synonimous. - The conjunctions and, and with in Ph. [Parish] or Township names were never contracted in England where they often occur and I believe it is the general rule on the Ordnance Plans to continue the same practice therefore it was adopted here being the correct mode according to custom and usage.
Where there are two parishes - and - is right
but when only one parish - & - is right Amo |

"One of the Cairngorm group of mountains, in the south-west corner of Aberdeenshire estimated by Jameson at 4300 feet in altitude; by Mr. H. C. Watson at 4326; and by others at 4390 feet. If this last admeasurement be correct Benmacdhui must be higher than Bennivis, hitherto regarded as the most elevated spot in great Britain."
There are so many modes of spelling this name that it is difficult to conclude which is correct, but it appears that the name signifies "The Black Son mountain" and it has been written on Trace in the Gaelic Form. |

This name is applied to a group of mountains considered the highest and wildest in Britain. The boundary on Traces shewing their topographical situation in this County is correct according to the best authorities residing in the locality, but great diversity of opinion exists regarding the extent of this range of mountains. The boundary shewn on traces extends from Beinn Meadhon down the west side of Glen Deirg, thence, along the west side of Glenlui till it joins the boundary of Glen Dee and from thence to the pass called Larig Gruamach into Invernesshire. This range includes Beinn Mucdhuibh, Cairngorm (proper) Little Cairngorm Ben Ann & Beinn Meadhon and appears the most natural boundary. |

[Notes]
BEINN IUTHARN MHÒR
Ben Narn Mor JMcD.
I suggest the popular spelling shd. [should] be underlined. The Gaelic form here given seems to me wildly conjectural & most inappropriate to such a fine green hill. There is no real evidence that Hell's Hill is the meaning or indeed that it has any sense so far as I can see. In the same way the Glen at the head of Loch Goil is called Hell's Glen Gleann Ifrinn but Prof. [Professor] MacKinnon says Gleann Aifrinn, Glen of the Mass - common in Ireland. I agree with the note on the right hand corner. Iutharn is nom. & mas [nominative & masculine] See H.S. Dict. [Dictionary]
The best way out of the difficulty is to give the alternatives J McD
You altered the adjective from right to wrong on Plans which carried the name to be questioned
Not "Big Wild Hill" as was given by the Field Examiner in Blair Athole Perthshire
This confirms my Remarks in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] - It is plain that it is well understood in the Country - In matters of Science
(as in the science of Philology) our chief aim and object should be the documents.
["Big Hill of Hell"]
This confirms my Remarks in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] - It is plain that it is well understood in the Country - In matters of Science
(as in the science of Philology) our chief aim and object should be the documents.
As now written it will read either Little Hi;; Hell or Little Hill of Hells (plu) [plural] not Little Hill of Hell.
BEINN IUTHARN BHEAG
I have referred this to Gaelic Scholars in Blair Athole Ph. [Parish] and, they agree with my former remarks.
[very faint writing under this sentence, ending with a ?]

CARN BHAC
Cairn na Baice
would be Cairn of the bend GM
no Dictionary would warrant this form
It is maintained you are wrong in the cases where you
suggested to this Divn. [Division] or wrote yourself such names
as Càrn Bhaic. Loch Bhaic - as cairn & Loch of the Bend. Can you quote any Authority for the mode you sugggested i.e.
Càrn Bhaic - being Cairn of the Bend?
"Càrn Bhac" is not correctly spelled if intended to mean Cairn of the bend
I remarked this name, and the meaning "Cairn of the Bend" was disputed
Here as well as in "Iutharn" [see p. 48] the truth of my Remarks are Confirmed.
I think not GM
Mr. Carpenter
You were already informed that the meaning of this name was doubtful
it would be wrong if written as you suggested supposing the signification
to be Cairn of the bend - see correspondence
Why not spell this correctly as you have
done nearly all similar words in similar
grammatical position throughout this
