DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY from
_ PERTH to ELGIN, to join the Great North of Scotla7d
Railway from Aberdeen to Inverness, at, or near Elgin, with a
Branch to Banff.

Several influential parties, considering that the interests of the
Northern Counties have been, to a certain extent, overlooked in the
recent proposals to establish Railways to the North of Scotland, and
believing that a DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY from PERTH,
by BLAIRGOWRIE, BRAEMAR, and ItALLINDALLOCH, to
ELGIN, is the best main trunk line of a Railway from Perth to the
Shores of the Moray Firth, have ordered a survey of the line. A
prospectus will be speedily published, demonstrating that this Line
is the shortest, and calculated to confer more advantages on the North
of Scotland--to absorb more streams of traffic, and to prove more
remunerating than any Line hitherto proposed. . .
