045 ; 047 ; 048 | A range of very high and rugged mountains comprehending Ben Macdhui, Cairn Gorm, Ben Bynac and Beinn Mheadhoin, their summits forming the boundary between the Co. [County] of Banff and the Cos. [Counties] of Aberdeen and Inverness. " A conspicuous mountain on the mutual border of the parish of Kirkmichael in Banffshire and the parish of Abernethy in Invernessshire. Its summit is only three miles north-east of the summit of Benmacdhui, which is on the border of Aberdeenshire, and only 15 miles from Scarsoch, which is on the border of Perthshire; and it is surrounded at near distance by a grand group of the Central Grampians which is often called from it the Cairngorm Group, and which constitutes a sublime alpine region, quite comparable in scenery to many of the romantic, sequestred tracts of Switzerland."
