[continued] 100,000 Acres (Scots) of which about 11,000 are Arable. It is Divided by a string of heath-clad hills into the parishes of Kilbride on the east and Kilmory on the west. Its shores are rocky & precipitous, here & there fringed to the water's edge with feathery brushwood & indented by the bays of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting, Machrie, Drimadoon and Ranza. The northern half consists of a mass of peaked & rugged mountains, intersected by deep & wild glens, of which Goat Fell is the highest. The mountains are naturally divided into three separate ridges. It offers an inexhaustible treasury of material for the Zoologist, Geologist & the Botanist The number of rock formations, sedimentary & plutonic which are found within this island is truly remarkable; perhaps unparalleled in any tract of like extent on the surface of the globe; while the varied phenomena which they present in their mutual contacts & general relations to one another, are of the highest import in theoretical geology. But there is a later & a higher formation which "pieces on in natural sequence to the geology", which has a deeper & more kindred interest. Buried amidst the heath & hoary with the Moss of Ages, we discover the rude monumental remains of primeval man - the sole records which has left of his early history. The old gray Cairns, the lichen covered monoliths, the ruined forts and cells and castles of early times, lie scattered in almost every dingle, glen & moor of the Island. With the exception of two small properties, the Island belongs to the Duke of Hamilton, whose seat Brodick Castle is a short distance north of the bay of that name |
