Country Life
BANFF AND BANFF.
Scotland may be said to have won a victory in the field of aesthetics over England and Wales. While the clairits of Dartmoor, Snowdonia, Dovedale and the Lakes of Cumberland and Westmoreland have been rejected by a British commission, the Cairngorms have been officially accepted. They, and they only, are judged by the Government to be a fit and proper place for a National Park. There are Parks and Parks ; and we have room within this island for several of several sorts. Nevertheless it must be confessed that the commis- sioners in their wisdom emphasized the claims of the most obviously suitable site within Britain. If you followed a line east and west across Scotland through Inverness and Aberdeen and over the Cairngorms you would see all round you, almost from one coast to the other, a wild and wonderful Country not excelled even in that other Banff on the other side of the Atlantic which borrowed the name.
