A GUIDE TO THE

your guide to it. Take every view of it you can.

At Inveraray there is much to be seen: besides the castle, see Glen Shyra; the fine timber towards the road to Ila, and about the tree called the Marriage Tree; take the drive by the River Douglas, and to the bridge over it; see the fall under the bridge.

Loch Fine (on the side of which Inveraray is built) is a beautiful salt water lake.

From Inveraray to Cairndow inn, 10 miles. A neat house.

To Aroquhar inn, 12 miles. A very good house; where you must sleep, and take care you have sufficient time to get thither by daylight, for it is a very tedious, hilly stage; but a boundless feast for the mind all the way. Immediately on leaving Cairndow, you will enter Glen Kinglass; and that part of it over which you will go, is nearly four miles in length; at the end of your road through it, is, to the left, a foot-way to the head of Loch Lomond. As soon as you cross the Kinglass water you will turn short, up a steep hill. Look at the waterfall facing you. When you get to the highest part of the road, you will meet with a small black looking lake.
