Excerpt from Dictionary of Deeside

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.
