This appears to be contrary
to Page 252 where:

"Montrose sped down the
upper glens of Dee,
through Glenmuick &
down the headwaters of
the South Esk".

Glenshee is some 20 miles to
the west of Glenmuick and
therefore his journey North was
not the same, as you state
and as you show it to be
on the sketch map of his
marches.

It is obvious to me,
knowing the country so well,
that the South going route
was the correct one, as
the regular pass to the South
was up Glenmuick and over
the Capel Road to Clora:
for example, in 1745, the
Lord Ogilvy of the day, (according
to his diary,) brought his clan
North to Culloden via the
Keppel (sic) Road to the
Spital of Glenmuick.

I trust that you
will forgive the object
