Fare, Hill of, a broad-based granitic eminence on the mutual border of Aberdeen and Kincardine shires, belonging to the parishes of Echt, Midmar, Kincardine O'Neil, and Banchory-Ternan, and culminating, at 1545 feet above sea-level, 4¾ miles NNW of Banchory village. It forms part of the northern screen of the basin of the Dee, is partly dissevered by the marshy hollow of Corrichie, contains some valuable peat moss, and affords excellent pasture for numerous flocks of sheep, producing mutton of very superior flavour, whilst its fine luxuriant heaths abound in moor-fowl, hares, and other game.—Ord. Sur., sh. 76, 1874.
