[Reverend] John Allan, Parish Minister Manse of Peterculter, Aberdeen Mr. John Smith, Parochial Teacher & Registrar, Peterculter Mr. Arthur Stephen, Sub-Factor East Lodge Peterculter. Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland 085 ; 086 "A great river, partly of Kincardineshire, but chiefly of Aberdeenshire. The name signifies "a dark stream"; and as regards the gloom, and the savage sublimity of the upper part of this rivers course, though not as regards the colour of its waters, it is sufficiently descriptive. The sources of the Dee are much higher than those of any other river in Britain; they lie among the shoulders and near the summits of the Cairngorm mountains, a group immensely grand, and in many parts inaccessible, they appear, in some instances, judging from height and copiousness and constancy, to be fed in some wondrous manner which science has never yet been able to explain; and the nascent streams which flow from them are so entangled among precipices and tunnels as to baffle all attempts at close observation. Hence do the very shepherds in the vicinity dispute as to which is the head stream of the Dee; while very intelligent tourists, speaking very dogmatically, have, in several instances, placed all the sources a thousand feet or more below their true position. "Nearly as many misrepresentations," says Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, have been made of the source of the Dee as of the springs of the Nile; and it has been kept as great a mystery as the ongoings and outgoings of the Niger; yet it should be no great secret. The Summit of Benmacdhu has many charms in a clear summer day. It is the highest land in Britain, and is president over a convication of mountains*** The outlines of all Scotland, north of the Forth, come within the picture laid out around Benmacdhu, and there is no scene in all that vast extent of land more gloomy and terrific than those crags on its eastern side that rise around Lochaven. Two head-streams of the Dee are manifestly higher than all the others, and yet are so nearly equal to each other in at once height, length, and volume, that they may be best regarded as joint parents of the river. The one rises near the summit of Benmacdhu, and runs southward down the west flank of that mountain, chiefly beneath prodigious masses of debris which hide it, for a thousand feet or more of its descent, entirely from the view. The other [continued on page 66]

OS1/1/71/66 RIVER DEE [Continued from page 65] Continued from other side. other rises 160 feet from the summit of Braeriach, and descends south-eastward, chiefly down the deepest and most awful precipice in Britain, to a confluence with the former at the north-east side of Cairntoul. The springs of the two are less than four miles asunder, as the crow flies; but a tremendous gorge intervenes, sternly naked on one side, and largely occupied on the skirts and bottom of the other with fallen masses of granite rock. The scenery is terrible. One understands here more than any where else in the Highlands, more even than in Glencoe, the influence of wild Alpine landscape in darkening the imaginations of the Highlanders, so as to give to their traditions those aspects of gloom and superstition which have ever hung as severely upon them as if they had been the effusions of a rational faith. A graphic periodical writer, describing the approach to this gorge from the glen of the river below, says, — " Gradually what was something like a road, dies away; and you are now compelled to pick your way among stones, and through the long heather, occasionally meeting with one of the small tracks worn by the deer, and used by such scanty travellers as may pass through that savage wilderness. There is a peculiar effect of loneliness you may never perhaps have experienced before, on entering this wilderness. The hills are at first distant, and the glen wide and hollow; but a dead stillness reigns on everything, except on the clattering river, which still flows on in no unstately bulk. Wandering on, mile after mile, the glen gradually narrows, and gets more savage in its aspect; great black rocks, which look like the walls of some Antediluvian city of the giants begin to run themselves up on each other; they approach more & more to each other. It is time we should tell him exactly where he is. Yonder singular looking peak, with shaggy precipitous sides, towards the west is Cairntoul; proceeding from its side - as a wall seems to proceed from the angle of a turret - is a vast black mass of perpendicular rock; that is the ridge of Braeriach, said by an eminent calculator of altitudes, to have 2000 feet of sheer precipice; that 2000 feet of precipice is the object which it now almost aches your eyes to look upon - a flat black mass, streaked with snow and sometimes intruded on by a cloud, which divides the upper regions from the lower. It is probably that now, in mid-day, a hot sun gilds its black front, and mocks its streaks of snow, while a dead unearthly silence pervades the mass. It is not so at all times; for here is the workshop of stones - here the elements, when they prepare themselves to come down with destruction on the fruitful valleys below, exercise their strength and do no harm; the scene is different from the stillness of the present; but with your leave, reader, it is a change we do not wish to witness. Returning to the description of our glen: right ahead, and almost protruding into it, is the well known Cairngorm; and towards the east, stretched the loftier Benmacdhu, now admitted to be the highest hill in Britain. The head-stream from Benmacdhu immediately on issuing from its hidden course beneath the granite debris, discends a series of five terraces, each looking like a ledge of masonry, and holding a deep limpid pool in its centre. These are called the wells of the Dee. The stream there is popularly called the Dee, but is not joined till 3 miles down by the head-stream from Braeriach, which is popularly called Garachy or Garrochory. Another stream called Guisachan, descending South-eastward from Bennavrochan, falls in 2½ miles farther on, at the lower base of Cairntoul, and a fourth called the Geauly or Gieuly descending eastward from Cairneilar, falls in four miles still farther on at Dubrach. The main river now takes a decided permanent direction toward the east; and all the way from "the Wells" hither, and also a short distance farther, it flows over a broken rocky bed, in alternate sweeps, rapids, and cascades till at length, at a place 6 miles above Castleton of Braemar, it forms a remarkable series of four small falls called the Linn of Dee. " The Linn of Dee," says the periodical writer quoted, "You will hardly find to be what you probably expected — a lofty waterfall. The fall is indeed very insignificant, and it is over a sloping bank from which there is no leap; but in no waterfall, not even in the princely Foyers, do we behold such a terrible specimen of the imprisoned power of the watery element. Here it has got itself entangled in a complete nest of impenetrable granite rocks, which alternately confine and enlarge the noble stream, sometimes allowing its waters to sweep indignantly round and round some large black basins, then again compelling them to exhaust their rage in cleaving their way betwixt two ledges, so near each other, that it is very easy - and a very common practice with those who have sound clear heads - to step across it. About 1½ miles below the linn, at the farm of Dallavorar, some signs of cultivation begin to appear on the banks of the Dee; but it soon after enters Mar Forest, through which it flows to Castleton of Braemar, receiving in its course the Lui and the Quoich from the north, and the Inverey and the Clunie from the south, and passing Mar Lodge on its northern bank. From Castleton it pursues its course through the Mar and Invercauld forests, and past Balmoral and Abergeldie, to the bridge of Ballater, above which it is joined by the Gairden, from the north, and the Muick, from the south. *** The Dee's total length of run is about 96 miles, and its tributaries drain nearly 1000 square miles of country."

[Reverend] John Allan, Manse, Peterculter Mr. John Smith Parochial Teacher, Peterculter Mr. Arthur Stephen East Lodge, Peterculter. Old. Statistical Account. 085 This name applies to the site of a Roman Camp which was situated upon an elevated ridge of land between the River Dee and Temple Burn, at the most southern point of the parish. The erection of this work was originally attributed to the Danes or to William the Norman, & received the name of the "Norman Dikes," but late investigations have exploded this idea & it is now generally believed, by the Antiquarians of the Country to have been a military work of the Romans. There are no remains of this work now existing; all ramparts & ditches having been levelled by the plough. No authorities can be obtained for the name "Norman Dikes" "Colonel Shand, who was intimately acquainted with the fortifications of the Romans north of the firths, examined this camp in 1801, and came to the conclusion, that the profiles, and other dimensions of the ditch and ramparts are the same as those of the camps of Ury battle dikes, and the other camps in Strathmore. This work has since been examined by Mr. Irvine of Drum, Captain Henderson of the 29th Regiment, and Professor Stewart, who agree in thinking it to be a Roman camp. It is of an oblong rectangular form, 938 yards long, and 543 yards broad, comprehending an area of 48 Scotch acres. It stood on the north side of the river Dee, on the south west corner of the parish, on a high ground of moderate elevation, opposite to several fords of the river, which, no doubt, it was intended to cover. It is supposed to have been erected by Lollius Urbicus, in one of his marches northwards. "The above Note is taken from the New Statistical Account page 108.

Registrar & Session Clerk Peterculter Mr. John Ingram Burnside, Peterculter New Statistical Account. 085 This name applies to a holy well situated near to the Old church of Drumoak, but in the parish of Peterculter. for farther description See Statistical Accounts The following extract is taken from the New Statistical Account "Dalmaik is compounded of the Gaelic word Dal, a haugh, or valley, and the name of the saint, contracted into Maik instead of Moak, as in the former case, hence the word Dalmaik signifies the valley of St. Moloch, a name which is very descriptive of that part of the parish where the ruins of the old church stand. And this description is supported by the circumstance, that, beside the old church (although within the boundary of the parish of Peterculter), there is a holy well, which is known by the name of St. Maik's Well.
