FROM EDINBURGH TO STIRLING, THE TROSACHS, LOCH KATRINE, LOCH EARN, LOCH TAY, TAYMOUTH, DUNKELD, PERTH, AND KINROSS.

PROCEEDING Westward from Edinburgh, by Prince's Street, at the distance of two miles the tourist passes on the right the elegant seats of Belmont, Beechwood, and Clermiston, delightfully situate on the side of Cor

• The route from Edinburgh to Stirling may be agreeably varied by water; the scenery on both sides of the Frith of Forth being highly picturesque and beautiful. Steam-boats sail every morning (excepting Sunday) from Trinity Chain Pier, Newhaven, two miles north from Edinburgh. These boats are fitted up with every convenience for the accommodation of passengers. See ArPENDIX, Steam-Boat Tours.

1484, the work was carried on and completed by Sir Oliver Sinclair, his eldest son of the second marriage, whose promotion to the command of the Scottish army, raised for the invasion of England, created the disgust which led to the route at Solway Moss. According to tradition, the death of a member of this family was always announced by the appearance of a blazing meteor on one of the turrets. The chapel has received considerable repairs from the late Earl of Rosslyn, in whose family the property is vested.

Near to Roslin is the scene of a remarkable battle, or rather a succession of battles, fought on February 24, 1303, between the English and the Scottish armies. The English, under John de Segrave, amounting to 30,000 men, was divided into three bodies, and encamped on different stations. The Scottish, amounting to 8000 men, commanded by Sir Simon Fraser and John Comyn, attacked the first division of the English and completely routed them. The remaining bodies advanced to the scene of slaughter in succession; the conflict was twice renewed, and ended in the complete triumph of the Scots.

The stranger visiting Roslin should not neglect to extend his excursion to some of the more remarkable objects in its neighbourhood. Descending the Esk, the natural scenery is exquisitely romantic and beautiful. The river, which is frequently inaccessible, is seen winding among the abrupt precipices that confine its course, over a bed of broken rocks; at every turning new beauties delight the eye; and at intervals the huge corners or summits of the rocky barrier on either side of the river, are seen projecting beyond the deep foliage of the trees, which shoot up luxuriantly from every part of this delicious spot. About a mile below Roslin, upon a precipice overhanging the south side of the Esk, are seen the classic walls of
