Excerpt from Dictionary of Deeside: A Guide to the City of Aberdeen and the Villages, Hamlets, Districts, Castles, Mansions and Scenery of Deeside, With Notes of Antiquities, Historical and Literary Associations, Etc
But, while this may be admitted, some may question whether another Guide Book is needed. Without directly contradicting this View, I may say that one who has lived a long time in a district can hardly fail to know some things - and these not always useless or uninteresting-in a manner in which they can scarcely be known to those who are only occasional visitors. I may also explain that I had become pretty familiar with most of the localities of the country, and had acquired an appreciable amount of historical and miscellaneous information about them, without ever intending to submit a book on Deeside to the public. The idea of doing so afterwards sprung up in my mind, and I must abide the result of the wisdom or folly of the venture. Whatever may be the fate of the book, it has been a pleasure to me to revisit the old familiar scenes and to look up those with which I was previously not so well acquainted. There are few places comprised in the work that I have not visited and inspected for myself.
