JOHN O'GROA'TS HOUSE.

AS some OF our readers may not be acquainted
with the full history Of John O. 'Groat's house, SO
commonly referred to, we subjoin it for their gra-
tication. memorable parish of Cansbav, in
Calthness, owes Its fame less to the circumstances
OF It's local situation at the northern extremity of
the island, than TO the event which it may not be
improper to relate. In the reign of James w.
three brothers, Malcolm, Cabin, and John de
Groat, supposed to have been originally from
Holland, arrived at CatLncss with a letter from
that prince, recommending them to the protection
OF his loving subjects III the county of Caihncss;
these brothers purchased some land near Dun
gushbay head, and in a short time, by the in
crease Of their families eight different proprctors
of the name of Groat possessed these lands in
equal divisions. These eight families having
lived peaceally and comfortably for number ol
years, established an an annual meeting to cello.
brate the anniversary ofthc arrival of their anccs
tors on the coast In the course of the festivities
on one of these occasions, question arose re.
specting tho right of taking the door, the head
OF the table, &c. which increased to such degree
as would probably have proved fatal in its consc-
qucnces, had not John dc Groat interlcrcd lie
Icxplatcd OH the comfort they had heretofore en-
lJoycd, and assured them that as soon as they ap.
pearcd to quarrel among themselves, their neigh.
hors, who had till then treated them with respect
would fail upon them and cxpcl them from the
country; he therefore conjurcd them by the ties
OF blood and their own mutual safety, to return
quietly to their respective homes, and pledged
himself that he would satisfy them on all points
Of preccdcncy, and prevent the possibility ofsuch
disputes at future anniversary meetings They
all acqnicsccd and departed in peace. In due
time John dc Groat, to il his engagement built
room, distinct from every other house, in an oc-
tagon figure, with eight doors, and having placed
table OF oak of the same shape in the mid
dle-whcn the next meeting took place, he de-
sired each OF them TO enter by his own door, and
sit at the head of the table, he himself occupying
the last; by this ingenious contrvance the harmo-
ny and good humor of the company was restored:
the building was then called John O'Groat's
House, and though nothing remains but the foun-
daons of the building, the place still retains the
same name.
