We passed many miles this day without seeing a house, but only little summer-huts, called shielings. Evan Campbell, servant to Mr Murchison, factor to the Laird of Macleod in Glenelg, ran along with us to-day. He was a very obliging fellow. At Auchnasheal, we sat down on a green turf-seat at the end of a house; they brought us out two wooden dishes of milk, which we tasted.

JOHNSON. 'No; it is no more than a considerable protuberance. We came to a rich green valley, comparatively speaking, and stopped a while to let our horses rest and eat grass . We soon afterwards came to Auchnasheal, a kind of rural village, a number of cottages being built together, as we saw all along in the Highlands.

The scene by Loch Ness was new to the sage, and he rises in his narrative a little to it and the 'limpid waters beating their bank, and waving their surface by a gentle agitation. Through Glenshiel, Glenmorison, Auchnasheal, they passed on to the inn at Glenelg.
