Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
BADENOCH , a
district
  of
south
 -
east
 
Inverness
 -shire,
Scotland
 , bounded on the N. by the Monadhliath mountains, on the E. by the Cairngorms and Braemar, on the S. by Atholl and the Grampians, and on the W. by Lochaber. Its area is somewhat undefined, but it may be estimated to measure 36 m. from N.E. to S.W. and 15 M. from N. to S. Excepting the valley of the Spey and the
great
  glens, it is almost entirely a wild mountainous
tract
 , many hills exceeding 3000 ft. in height, and contains in the forests of Alder, Drumochter, Gaick and Feshie some of the best deer country in the Highlands. Loch Laggan and Loch Ericht are the principal lakes, and the
district
  is abundantly watered by the Spey and its numerous tributaries. It is traversed, from Dalnaspidal to Boat of Garten, by the Highland railway. There are very few
industries
 , and population groups itself at Kingussie and other places on or near the Spey. From 1229 to 1313 the lordship of Badenoch was owned by the Comyns. In 1.371 Robert II. granted it to his son Alexander Stewart, 1st
earl
  of Buchan (1343-1405), the " Wolf of Badenoch." Reverting to the crown, it was bestowed in 1452 upon the 1st
earl
  of
Huntly
 , and still gives the title of lord of Badenoch to the marquess of
Huntly
 .
