SCENERY.
The Great North of Scotland Railway passes through some of the finest scenery
in Scotland. The variety is most pleasing. At one part the Tourist traverses fine agri-
cultural districts, with beautiful sylvan and river scenery ; at the next he is surrounded
by high hills, rising here and there to mountains : while for coast scenery nothing could be
finer than the prospect from the Coast Line, which skirts the southern shore of the Moray
Firth. The Cruden Railway affords access to a romantic part of the sea-coast famed for
ts magnificent rock scenery, marked by towering cliffs and subterranean caves, anon
softening into sand dunes and hard sandy beach. The Deeside Line, which runs along, the
picturesque vaUey of the Dee, terminates at Ballater, among the grandest mountain
scenery in the Kingdom. BALMORAL, the King's Highland home, is within nine miles
of Ballater. Coaches run daily during Summer between BALLATER and BRAEMAR,
via Balmoral.
