The party at Inverarnan to the number of 14 were most

Saturday, 11th August 1855. 
The morning was misty and drizzly as on former days. The 
mist reached to the very bottom of the mountains and com- 
pletely obscured the view of the beautiful scenery on Loch 
Lomond. After breakfast we left by the boat at 7.45 a.m. and 
reached Balloch, whence we proceeded by train to Bowling, and 
then to Glasgow, reached about 12.45, and Edinburgh reached at 
2.45 p.m., thus ending the highland excursion for the season.
