CH. XI. EXCELLENT INNS. 163 



her charges are as moderate as the most economical 

 traveller could wish. The country round Durness 

 is full of magnificently wild scenery, and the shel- 

 tered little sandy bays afford excellent bathing. 



Durness, by Rhiconnich, to Scowrie, is about 

 twenty-six miles. Scowrie should be another rest- 

 ing-place : there is much to see, and a good inn. 

 For my own part, I have a most pleasing recollec- 

 tion of Scowrie, and of the hospitality of Mr. M'lvor 

 (the Duke of Sutherland's manager in that district). 



Scowrie to Inchnadamph, by Kyleska Ferry, still 

 takes the traveller through a country every step of 

 which is most splendidly wild and picturesque. 

 Inchnadamph inn, at the foot of Ben More, and at 

 the head of Loch Assynt, is another good resting- 

 place. Loch Inver, four miles from Lichnadamph, 

 has also an excellent inn, and is well worth going to 

 see. To Liveran inn, on the Shin river, from 

 Inchnadamph is thirty-two miles ; but with two inns 

 on the way, Altnagalcanach and Oykel, at both of 

 which tolerable accommodation may be had. In- 

 veran is a small house, but as cleanly and comfort- 

 ably kept as any inn in Britain. I never knew an 

 angler on the Shin river who did not say the same 

 of the inn at Inveran ; the landlady, in her homely, 

 " motherly " way, makes her guests so comfortable 

 that they always leave her with regret.
