DORERY HILL. 79 



moor, and moss, in the midst of which twelve lochs 

 might be seen glittering in the sunshine, with the 

 Sutherland hills far in the distance. 



The scene is lonely and solitary. Not a house is to 

 be seen. Not a sound is to be heard, excepting the shot 

 of a sportsman during the grouse season. Below the 

 hill, is Loch Shurery, quietly sleeping in the sunshine. 



THE DOS3RY HILLS. 



Rising the hill and looking north, you see the flat county 

 of Caithness, with moors and lochs in the toreground, 

 and beyond them the flag-fenced fields in the distance. 

 The Dorery hills were attractive to Dick, not only 

 because of the solitary scenery, but because they were 

 lull of ferns of many sorts, togetliei with many of the 

 plants and grasses of which he was constantly in search.
