[---]h only interruption to the continuity of this range, is the narrow pass or
ravine of Slocmuic. Parallel to this range there is another in the south side
[of] the parish, much lower than the range already mentioned. This range commences

[Betw]een these two parallel ranges, is the narrow valley of the Dulnan, bisected -- written [can't read]
[by] the stream from which the valley derives its name. Between the southern range
and the Spey, is a narrow stripe of land, extending the whole length of the parish.
About 4 miles north of the parish church, there is a rocky hill, projecting in front
[of] the main range, called Craig na' iolar, the eagles eyrie, or crag. In this hill -- See sheet 32 trace 13

bottom of the hill. Its appearance is as if it were cut with a sharp sword.

gridiron or girdle in her hand, was met by a huge animal of this kind
in a narrow land near her own house. They thus for a few moments, stood
gazing at one another, when the animal sprung upon its pray; but, as he
was in the act of seizing her, she, by a well directed stroke of the edge of
[the] gridiron, cleft his head in two, and laid him lifeless at her feet. In

This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Inverness, which is in the north of Scotland.
