HC Deb 23 July 1894 vol 27 cc665-6
MR. A. MORTON (Peterborough)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to a statement in The Aberdeen Free Press of the 18th that the Linn of Dee is about to be destroyed by blasting the rocks; and, if so, whether he will take measures to prevent the projected destruction of one of the most remarkable objects of interest on all Deeside?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

My attention was first directed to the statement referred to by the hon. Member, and I have since seen the newspaper reports on the subject. There is no Public Body, so far as I know, which has any power in the matter to whom I could refer for information; but I am informed by the factor of the estate that the reports are greatly exaggerated, as what is contemplated will in no degree affect the aspect of the Linn of Dee.

Forward to
