Blair Athol

In a cleft of the Hog Back, one mile north of Glen Eyrie, lies Blair Athol. Mr. Blair, its first owner, gave it this name, though Scottish glens, clad in purple heather, are dull by gorgeous Blair Athol. Its rocks vary from cream to orange, from rose to carmine. There is no water in Blair Athol, but its action is everywhere visible in the curiously twisted columns; in the great slabs which bar the portals of some rocky tomb.
