"If, lured by the opening prospect of ben and corrie, you venture wheel on the old military road that run tortuously from the highlands of the Dee to the great rift of Glen Mhor, you will ultimately come, under the favor of Providence, into a very welter of hills - brown and gently rolling - at the top-end of the Province of Moray, and discover the Loch Ruighi shining in its hollow." (from the Foreword)
