Clachnaben, a mountain in Strachan parish, Kincardineshire, flanking the SE bank of the Aan, and culminating 3 miles ENE of the summit of Mount Battock, and 9 SW of Banchory. One of the eastern Grampians, it rises to an altitude of 1944 feet above sea-level; commands a view of the E of Scotland from Peterhead to the Lammermuirs; and is crowned by a mass of bare granite, 100 feet high, from which it is sometimes called the White Stone Hill. According to an old-world couplet-
There are two landmarks out at sea,
Clochnabin and Bennachie.'
