anchored at seven in Fleehiwod Harbour; theentrance was extremely narrow and difficult. We werelashed close to the pier, to prevent our being turned bythe tide ; and when I went on deck there was a greatcommotion, such running and calling, and pulling ofropes, &c. It was a cheerless evening, blowing hard. Tuesday, September 21.At ten oclock we landed, and proceeded by rail toLondon. LIFE IN THE HIGHLANDS, 1848 TO 1861. Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires ! what mortal hand Can eer untie the fihal band That knits me to thy rugged strand ! Still, as I view each well-known scene, Think what is now, and what hath been, Seems as, to me, of all bereft, Sole friends thy woods and streams arc left; And thus I love them better still, Even in extremity of ill.

Q T C ^^ X \ i ^ ( 65 ) First Impressions of Balmoral. Balmoral^ Friday, September 8, 1848. We arrived at Balmoral at a quarter to three. It is apretty little castle in the old Scottish style. There is apicturesque tower and garden in front, with a high woodedhill; at the back there is wood do^\Tl to the Dee; andthe hills rise all around. There is a nice little hall, with a billiard-room; next toit is the dining-room. Upstairs (ascending by a goodbroad staircase) immediately to the right, and above thedining-room, is our sitting-room (formerly the drawing-room), a fine large room—next to which is our bed-room,opening into a little dressing-room which is Alberts.Opposite, down a few steps, are the childrens and MissHildyards three rooms. The ladies live below, and thegentlemen upstairs. We lunched almost immediately, and at half-past fourwe walked out, and went up to the top of the woodedhill opposite our windows, where there is a cairn, and upwhich there is a pretty winding path.
