When at Roslin, do not fail crossing the North-Esk river, which runs under the walls of Roslin Castle, to see Hawthorndean, and all the walks near, and belonging to Roslin. In the way from Dalkeith to Roslin, you will again see Melville Castle; and cross the North-Esk at Leswade bridge.
When at Edinburgh, walk round Salisbury Crags, and to the top of Arthur's Seat. See Dediston lake, and house. Inquire for the bit of rock, where the fine echo is heard; it is between Salisbury Crags, and the new walk towards Dediston lake. Walk over Calton Hill; but be sure to have a gentleman, or a man servant with you. See the Castle, the Abbey, and its ruined chapel. If you can get leave, see a fine picture of King Charles the First of England, and his Queen Henrietta; it is in Lady Elizabeth Murray's apartment, the property of the Earl of Dunmore.
