Allowed the third ranK in this respect; And the single fishery at its mouth
belonging to the Duke of Gordon (now Richmond,) is rented for more than £6000 a year.

thence it increases in interest as it approaches Kinrara; whence for a few miles it is
Attended by a Series of landscapes, aliKe various, Singular and Magnificent.

new or StriKing; while near its exit, from the mountainous country, it loses all character,
and Continues from Fochabers to the Sea a wide insipid sheet of water."
