GLENMTJICK in the district of Marr and presbytery
of Kincardine-O'Neil is a parish 18 miles long and 15
broad, bounded on the north by Strathdon and
Leocliel Cushnie, contains the village of BaUater, the
terminus of the Dee side line of railway, situated in
the midst of scenery the most interesting and
beautiful in the country. The village and district
since the opening of the railway has been largely
visited by tom-ists, for whose accommodation there is
a first-class hotel and a number of private residences
and respectable lodgings. Balmoral Castle being
within a few miles, the village is occasionally honoured
by visits from Her Majesty. Dvxring the residence
of Her Majesty at Balmoral a military guard of
honour is stationed at BaUater, a very neat and
comfortable small barracks having been erected for
their accommodation. The Union Bank and the
North of Scotland Banking Co. have agents in the
village, and the Aberdeen Town and County Bank
have\n agent at the Bridge of Gairn, in the parish.
A list of the merchants and traders will be found in
the Directory. Within a short distance of BaUater
is the pictiiresque Loch Cannor, in which is an island
with the ruins of an ancient castle or htmting seat,
supposed to have been built by the noted Malcolm
Canmore. The ruins of Knock Castle and Bu-k Hall,
one of the Prince of Wales' shooting boxes, are in
this parish, also several seats of gentry and landed
proprietors. Two miles from BaUater are the mineral
wells, baths, and hotel of Pannanich, on the banks
of the Dee. The mineral waters are found very
efficacious in cases of dyspepsia, scrofula, and other
complaints. The hotel is a well conducted estabhsh-
ment, and the number of visitors annually increasing.
The parishes of Glengairn and TuUoch are incor-
porated with Glenmuick. The places of worship are
the Established Churches at BaUater and Glengairn,
Free Churches at Glenmuick and Cromar, and a
Eoman Catholic Chapel at Glengairn. In addition
to the schools ali-eady in existence in the parish
a new public school has been recently erected at
Glengairn by the School Board ; the building is in
the Gotliic style of architecture, and affords accommo-
dation for 80 pupils. Fairs are held at BaUater on
the first Tuesday in May and the second Monday and
Tuesday in September (o.s.), and on the Saturday
previous to the 22nd of November (n.s.).
