OBSERVATIONS MEMBER OF THE ROYAL MEDICAL, PHYSICAL, AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETIES OF EDINBURGH; THE LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF MANCHESTER; THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON; THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY; AND PROFESSOR OF NATURAL OBSERVATIONS ON A TOUR THROUGH THE HIGHLANDS, &c. &c. NVERNESS is a large and well built town, containing about INV in 8000 inhabitants. The houses are very lofty, and many of them elegant. It is very properly called the Capital of the Highlands, there being no other town of any consequence the north. There are some very good inns: that, where we took up our abode, is kept by a Mrs. Ettles. Our accommodation was very good; we experienced much attention and civility, and were charged very reasonably. Almost opposite to our inn, near the centre of the town, stands the court-house, with which is connected the jail or tolbooth. It is a very handsome modern building, with an elegant tower, terminated by one of the hand somest spires I have seen. The prison is airy, and kept remarkably neat. |
