Rothiemurchus

Hugh Macmillan

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Or all the districts overshadowed by the extensive Cairngorm range the most magnificent, by uni versal consent, is Rothiemurchus. It is a region entirely unique. There is nothing like it elsewhere. If Scotland as a whole is Norway post-dated, this part of the country is especially Norwegian. Scotland is famous for its artistic colouring, which Millais compared to a wet Scotch pebble but here the colouring is richer and more varied than in any other part of the country. The purples are like wine and not like slate, the deep blue-greens are like a peacock's tail in the sun, the distant glens hold diaphanous bluish shadows, and a bloom like that of a plum is on the lofty peaks, which changes at sunset into a velvety chocolate or the hue of glowing copper.
