A GUIDE TO THE

small town of Bruar is just three miles from Blair, on the Inverness road; and the falls of the water of Bruar are immediately at the north of the town. A little beyond the town of Bruar, go down to the banks of the Garrie, and you will see several very fine salmon leaps, particularly those which are about a quarter of a mile below the small bridge that leads to the Kirk-town of Strowan. It is, if you have time, well worth your trouble, to walk on each side of the water, that you may have every view of those falls.

From Blair you must send to ——— Robertson, Esq. for leave to see Lude; go completely over it. Follow the Tilt, and see its falls, also the York Cascade, and the falls of the same burn above it; and conclude by visiting a fall of a burn higher up in Mr. Robertson's estate. It had no name when I was there proper for it; I therefore beg leave to name it, the Fall of Lude. It is uncommonly beautiful at all times, but it must be very grand indeed when full of water; do not miss the sight of it, if possible.

From Blair of Atholl to Dalnacardoch, 11 miles: a single house; it is only a middling inn, but the road to it is very good and pleasant.
