The day was again fine, and those who went to Ben Hope 

 had a most enjoyable excursion. Ha\ing engaged a wag- 

 gonette, we drove to Kinloch House, the residence of Mr 

 Deverell, the lessee of the shootings of Ben Hope, a distance 

 of 6 miles from Tongue. Here we left our conveyance. 

 Mr Deverell kindly- granted us permission to examine Ben 

 Hope, and sent his keeper to act as our guide. The walk 

 from Kinloch House to Ben Hope is about 6 miles. Ben 

 Hope rises to a height of 3040 feet, and is the fourth highest 

 mountain in Sutherland. We reached the summit about 

 noon, and had a most extensive view, the island of Lewis 

 being distinctly visible. The best rocks on Ben Hope are 

 on the west side of the mountain, which we had not time to 

 examine. Among the plants collected may be mentioned: —
