Excerpt from Past and Present of Aberdeenshire: Or Reminiscences of Seventy Years Extensive planting of suitable timber, the reclama tion of waste land, the laying out of the arable ground in regular fields, and the improved methods of cultivation now in general use. Seventy years ago the arable portions of the country were wretchedly cultivated, ill laid out, and in many places full of earth-fast stones, and the dwellings of the farmers and their sub-tenants and dependants were of the poorest description and wanting in what are now considered the decencies of life. But the most marked feature in the face of the country was the wide extent of barren ground, consisting partly of moor land, upon which the tenants of the adjoining farms had the privilege of putting out their cattle to pick up a scanty subsistence, and partly of moss land, where they dug fuel for home consumption or for sale in Aberdeen.
