PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
ISLAND IN THE RIVER NESS.
SEVERAL GENTLEMEN of Inverness
and ite vicinity, have long entertained a wish that
Bridges should be erected over the River Ness, at the western
extremity of the town, in order to open up tke ISLAND to
the Public, and to connect the. Walks on the opposite
Banks of the River. The ISLAND is upwards of four
Acres in extent, and is unquestionably the most beautiful
!pot in the environs of Inverness. It is now, however,
Inaccessible to the Public ; and the individuals with whom
14 proposed improvements originated conceive that to
741 an easy access to the Island, by means of Chain Ten-
don Bridge and to lay it out in graceful and varied walk.,
Would at once form a lasting ornament to the town, a
Powerful attraction to strangers, and a :mince of healthful
recreation and enjoyment to the inhabitants.
The following Subscriptions in aid of this undertaking
have already been received:— ..£ s.
