Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-10-22
Shutting up the Highlands of Scot
land

amongst ordinary English ladies and gentle
men, making an autumnal sojourn amongst
heather.
There is shooting, fishing, walking riding,
and driving pleasantly and proftably varied
by breakfasting, lunching, dining, supping and
sleeping.
What have the world to do with the exact
number of grouse which have tumbled before
the princes double-barrel and is ii n matter of
historic import to know whether the steps of
her majesty's highland pony, have been traced
upon the green sward round the lodge, or
amidst the purple heather on the hills above
it?
Let me rather try if cannot now, while
people are thinking and talking of the hills,
strike out some topic more or less connected
with them and which may prove at least as
profitable to your readers as the outgoings and
incomings Of Gen. Weymas, or the nursery
evolutons of the little prince and princess of
| the blood.
Well, to make the effort In approaching
Loeb Laggan from Fort William the traveller
will not fail to notice the two huge mountains
which fling back their dun masses from the
lower extremity of the lake. These great hills
| form part of the hunting grounds of the Mar
guess OF Abercorn. and prince Albert has,
believe, been playing at Devastating ON their
misty sides. They are, in fact, Il deer forest.
