than in most rivers, having cruive-dykes built across 

 them. 



The best stations for the angler in this part of Ross- 

 shire, are Achnanault, Garve and Contin inns. 



The only other streams worth mentioning, which 

 enter the Firth of Cromarty, are the Peffery burn, 

 near Dingwall, the Ault-graad and Skiack, near Kil- 

 tearn, the Alness and Balnagown waters. Of these, the 

 first-mentioned contains a few black trout. The others, 

 when swollen, are frequented by finnocks, sea-trout, 

 and a sprinkling of salmon. In Lochs Glass and Moir, 

 where respectively the Ault-graad and Alness waters 

 take their rise, the angling is said to be good. Loch 

 Glass is about six miles in length, and connected with 

 it, are a number of smaller lochs abounding in trout, 

 some of which attain large dimensions. There are one 

 or two small inns on the line of coast betwixt Inver- 

 gordon and Dingwall, at the villages of Alness and 

 Evan-town, where the angler may procure quarters.
