nary number of visitors to the Highlands during the
summer and autumn months, become every day more

unprecedented rapidity. Patrician vehicles pass through
the town to the sweet retreats afforded by strath and
glen to the toil• worn man of business, or to those weary
of the giddy sameness of the routs and fetes of town life,
while the public coaches daily bring theirrqounioitsae.
