The party returned about 6 p.m. to the Inn of Loch Laggan, 
where they had tea. They found that Sir W. Elliot and Dr. 
Skae and party were located at the inn. From the inn they 
returned by the drag to Dalwhinnie, reaching that place after 
9 p.m. very wet and fatigued. There seem to be many 
mountains on both sides of Loch Laggan worthy of careful 
examination. A party might take up their residence at Loch 
Laggan Inn and thus be near the scene of their labours. Another 
station for a party might be Kingussie, where Cairngorm and 
Ben na Mac Dhu might be visited. 
Saturday, 1oth August 1867. 
The party left Dalwhinnie at 10.8 a.m. by train. Mr. Coore 
went to Aberfeldy with the view of visiting Ben Lawers.
