Thefe observations have been lengthened 

 mit longer than was at firft intended ; which 

 prevents me from making remarks on other 

 parts of the country through which I travel- 

 led. 



The hints that are already given may be 

 reduced to practice with great fuccefs in A- 

 thol, both on the hills, and by the fides of 

 the rivers. 



There is one remark I would make, that 

 Athol is a warmer climate than the grounds 

 farther north, the country being populous, 

 the foil good, and more of it improved. 



This country would anfwer very well with 

 the fpade culture ; efpecially fuch parts in 

 Athol, Breadalbane, and Strathbran, where 

 the foil is good to near the top of the hills. 



The fame obfervations will apply with re- 

 fpedl to Fyfe ; from Perth to the Queensfer- 

 ry, where there are very little fubftantial im- 

 provements going on by inclofing, draining, 

 furnmer-fallowing, and liming, and a regu- 

 lar rotation of crops of corn and grafs. 



It is very much to the difgrace of the pro- 

 prietors and farmers upon that road, that 

 there is fo little done in improving their 

 grounds ; having lime and coals both at a ve- 

 ry
