CASTLETON TO BLAIR-ATHOLL.
deep. This route is described in connection with Blair-Atholl,
page 272. The distance from Braemar to Blair is thirty miles,
and takes twelve hours’ good walking. ’ There is a gig road
from Braemar to Glen Bee, twelve miles, and a carriage road
from the Duke of Atholl’s-shooting-lodge to Blair, of. eight
miles, so that the walking distance may be reduced to ten
miles by arranging with the innkeepers for. ponies or convey¬
ances.
The tourist entering Glen Tilt from this side will be
struck by the bleak and gloomy : desert,; which presents an
aspect of the most forlorn and hopeless sterility.. The great
feature in the scene is the huge Ben-y-gloe, which presides
over the great forest of Atholl. It has several pinnacles, the
highest of which is called Cairn-an-gour (3724 feet).
