Craig-na-Ban, a rounded, granitic, fir-clad hill (1736 feet) in Crathie and Braemar parish, SW Aberdeenshire, 1½ mile SE of Abergeldie. On it, to save his own life, a wizard is said to have hunted down a witch and handed her over to justice; and on it Prince Frederick William of Prussia gave the piece of white heather (emblem of good luck) to the Princess Royal on the day of their betrothal, 29 Sept. 1855.
