Thus travelling diffufes reciprocal benefits, from the centre, to the moft remote corners of Britain; and partly with a view to this important end, as well as to lay open the internal ftate of the kingdom, I have drawn up the following remarks upon that part of the road which is leaft known, though not the lead conducive to health, as all thofe who have made the experiment, readily acknowledge. Travelling through the interior parts of Scotland, is no longer attended with the dangers and infurmountable difficulties; the want of neceflaries, and other in conveniencies, which deterred our anceftors from vifiting thefe mountainous regions. The people are ftudious to oblige. Provifions, efpecially fifh, tame and wild fowl; fmall, but delicate beef, mutton and lamb, are plenty, to thofe who can afford to...
