the tastes and pursuits of the proprietors of the places mentioned 
in Dr. Walker’s list; but at this distant period, we have been 
able to glean very little suitable to our purpose respecting them. 
Taymouth, in the central highlands of Perthshire, is a very 
old seat of the Campbells. Pennant says the castle was first 
built by Sir John Campbell, sixth knight of Lochow, who died 
in 1583. The place, he says, has been much modernised since 
the days of the founder, and has lost its castellated form, as well 
as its old name of Balloch Castle. The place has subsequently 
undergone a great variety of alterations, and at present is re- 
markable for the extent of its woods and plantations, and for’ a 
fine avenue of lime trees. The present proprietor is John Camp- 
bell, Marquess of Breadalbane.
