The Inches of Perth are, to my eye, the finest in Scotland, each having about a mile and a half in circumference, and making delightful and healthy playgrounds and promenades for the whole population.
On Monday, Sept.

14th, I took staff and set out for another week- stage of my walk, or from Perth to Inverness.

Crossed the Tay and proceeded northward up the east side of that fertile river.

Fertile may sound at first a singular qualification for a broad, rapid stream running down out of the mountains and widening into a bay or firth at its mouth.

But it may be applied in the best sense of production to the Tay; and not only that, but other terms known to practical agriculture.
