THE DvrcHEsl CORDON', COTTAGE.

TR following description of thisbeautiful Cot-
tage, is extraCted from STOODAIty'S Remarks on
Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland.'

rt From Rotliemurchus to Kinrara, a distance of
about two miles, is a walk as simply beautiful, as
any part of the Highlands can be, where the objefts
-are on so grand. a scale. The Spey flowing, under
a long wall of mountain crags and -fir Plantations;
embraces in its sweep a -verdant plain, which is close
shut in, on the opposite side, by. the Hill of Tor
Aivie. Thus is formed a lovely retirements where
taste itself would have wished to plant its favourite
abode. In this very spot, on a knoll corrnnanding,
the small plain, and itself sheltered by the; loftier
hill, stands the cottage'of her Grace, the Dutchess
of Gordon. AIQUOd it ,are the birch woods, which
creep gently .up the sides of tiss hill. The house
was a- mere ,Highland Farm, no better than the
'Others of thiS Country. Her Grace has' taken it,
as. it stood, its thatched roof, its out-houses, its
barn and byre, and with the addijicin only of a
single room, and with 'some alteration of arrange-
ment in the others, has converted it, into a summer
residence. Those, whose notion's of enjoyment are'
built only upon a city-life, and who know the spirit.
and animation which the Dutchess of Gordon in-
fuses into the circles of fashion, will probably be:
astonished at her. being able to derive enjoYinent
from so different a source. They will not believe,,
that 'a mind habituated to all the pOlish and splen-
dour of Courts, can find gratification-in the simple
pleasures of Nature, or that " Ball-rooms and hot
Theatres," can give plate to the calm and cool
air, the soft and tranquil shade of a Highland Cot;
tage. The combination, of tastes so different, and
so apparently opposite, "is owing, only to superior
mental activity ; and the ultimate prevalence of
natural simplicity, over all the elaborate refine-
merits of art, proves an innate delicacy of discri-
ruination. I esteem myself fortunate, not only in
having visited this lovely spot, but in having
marked the effed, which its beauties produced on
so polished a mind. Had-I needed any proof, that
.Nature is the primary standard of true taste, this
wotild'have afforded conviCtion. Fashion and sys-
tern have, indeed, a secondary influence ; and cir-
tumstances often oblige us to sacrifice to them more,
than is their due ; but we feel a real, satiSfaCtions,
whenever we are enabled to give ourselves up to the
.guidance of pure, unvitiated feeling.
" A residence in Badenoch, one of the wildest
of Highland_ DistriCts, necessarily cuts off many
of the accOmmodationi of polished life. The want ,
of coals was supplied by a large peatsstack ; and
no baker being at hand, our bread was brought
either from Inverness, thirty-five miles distance,
or from Perth, which is eighty, by the daily car-
riages on that road. Add to this, that the house _
itself was by no means well-built, and the 'construe.;
tion of the chimnies in particular was so faulty, as
to fill the rooms frequently with smoke. The task
,of improvement was therefore one, great occupa-
tion. Her Grace has planned the establishment of
a Village, at a small distance, whose bakers, but-
cherS, .&c.- may serve all the adjacent Country!.
" For. the •Cottage itself, should it become, as
it well deserves,,a place of frequent residence, some
architeetural embellishment .wotild be necessary.—
The Dutchess, has, therefore, received ()several de_:
signS for this purpose ; but her taste is \oo correa
to' adopt any, whose simplicity, does nbt accord
with the surrounding scenery. To. the. Westward_
of. the- knoll, on which she Cottage stands, is a
small plain :rendered marshy by a brook, whiCh
flows through it ; the draining and ornamenting
this spot, with a due regard to its natural capahili-
. ties, will form- no unpleasing exercise for a lover
of the piCturesque. With a similar view, her
Grace has planned'a Garden, in a hollOw of the hill,
which actlie same time serves to shelter its pro.
duC .
tions,-to screen it from sight,. and to produce
the effeel of a' pleasing surprize on its discovery.—
The neighbouring declivities are 'clothed with
woods, among which .she has opened several walks
and. drives. In dire6ting their formation, and.
often in pruning the trees with her own hand, she
finds her morning emplOyment no less healthful,than
entertaining. The nature of the *oil is very fa-
vourable to. these out-of:door occupations ; for,
though heavy and continued rains are not unfrequent,
the turf becoMes dry,- within half an hour after
their cessation. s.
" From what I have said,
.it will.easily be ima..
gined, that there was little room for tedium, or
ennui ; notwithstanding the neighbourhood afford-
ed very few visitors, and her. Grace 'had no other
companions, but her Grand-daughter, Miss Len-
nox, and her friend Mrs. 'Rose, of: Inverness. In
the . evenings, our time 'was passed with Authors
most interesting in such a situation—With Ossian,
the Painter of Highland:Scenery—with Butns„ the
still more animated Painter of Scottish feelings ;'
nor should Iforget Mr. Price's Essay on the Pic_
turesque, which served as -a Text-book to, all our
discussions on local improvement. The most
light, in which_, the Dutchess appeared, was
that of a BenefaCtress to the surrounding COuntry.
She visited individually the separate Cottages of
the Peasants ; at:one rime she prevailed on a-great
number to have their children inoculated under her
inspection ; and she was ever ready .to give' her
personal advice and assistance to those who applied
for it. The affability of her manners, still more
than the extent of her benevolence, rendered her
name universally heloV'ecl.- This is .the True secret
of securing personal attachment,- and may,
,perhaps,
afford no useless example to those, who, aftet much'
ostentatious charity, complain of ingratitude in the
poor, whom they have relieved."
