The ceremony of the dark passages to it, and all the curiosities within the hermitage, perhaps put me somewhat out of humour, and made me think less of the fall than I should have done, had I found myself on the points of rocks at the top of the hermitage, unadorned by any thing but what simple nature bestows: at the foot of the fall, however, it is very handsome; and the wood about it, were it left to its natural bent, would be delightful. The smaller fall, under the bridge above, and the rocks and trees hanging about it, pleased me much; and the views towards Kenmore and Taymouth, from the hermitage, are very fine.
