A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Cairnaqueen, an ancient tumulus in Crathie parish, Aberdeenshire, about 1½ mile W of Crathie church. It stands on the ground where the ancient clans of Deeside used to gather for battle, and it furnished them with their slogan or war-cry. It is now planted with thriving trees, and it commands a very fine view of Lochnagar.
