Its extent is very considerable." _ "The form of the parish is irregular, reaching about 9 miles in length from East to west, and may be , on an average, 3 miles in breadth."_"In the lower parts of the parish, which is at the east end, the Soil is various, and all kinds of grains Common to Scotland, are cultivated to advantage, But to the west, the country gradually rises, till it comes to a pretty high elevation. It is mostly of a light mould, and though much of it be tilled, yet it appears better calculated for pasture. _ The Fereneze and Lochlibo-side hills, making one ridge, rreaching from north-west to South-west, for Several miles, are covered with green, and containing a number of arable farms; and, as the farm houses appear in a line along the steep ascent, they afford a beautiful prospect to the traveller, on the farther parts of the lands of Lochlibo, the Soil is more barren, the Surface covered with bent and heath, and partly with deep moss."
