A privately printed "gazette" on a portable lithographic press by members of the Darroch family, owners of Torridon House, Ross-shire and resident between 1873 and 1910. A small number of the issues were printed at the family residences in London. Many of the stories and pieces of "fashionable intelligence" relate to members of the Darroch family and the indices give the names of numerous contributors, including D. Darroch, C. B. Scott, G. T. D. Coleridge, H. Troubridge, R. F. Reynard, M. C. Dixon, D. Machlachlan and others. Illustrations by A. A. Sykes, M. Coleridge, C. J. Davidson, and others. The text gives insights into the life of a cultured family in a remote part of the Highlands in the 1880s and 1890s.
