[12] The Buchan Observer reported:[12] It appears that the accident happened about two o'clock in the afternoon, and that Captain Hood was in the next butt to his Lordship.

Captain Hood, who was greatly upset at the accident, left the hill and returned to Braemar a short time after the occurrence.
