40 HISTORY OF THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN. 
Lectures are over which is about the end of July—It would be 
a very good route for you I think if you do not mean to visit 
the N.E. part of Scot* to go by Perth, Dunkeld, Blair in 
Athol &c to Garvimore then by Pitmain to Inverness, from 
thence by Lochness to Fort Augustus Fort William Glenco Kings 
house &c to Tayndrum go forward by Killin to the mountains 
north of Loch Tay of which Ben Lawers is one of the best on 
that range of mountains you may find most of the rarer alpine 
plants—return again to Tayndrum and thento Inverary, Cavindon 
and E. Tarbet, to Luss, I will give you a letter to Dr. Stuart 
who will show you every thing worth your nottice there and 
perhaps accompany you to Ben Lomond from Luss by Dum- 
barton to Glas 
other way but on foot. The western part of the Island is per- 
haps best for Minoralogy though not for Botany. Arran affords 
the greatest variety of Fossiles as you may see by my friend Mr. 
Jamesons acct. with whom I travelled—I shall be able to send 
you many things you want, but must defur it till you return 
from the north when I hope to have more leisure. In the mean 
time 
I remain, Dr. Sir, Your mo. obt. Hbl. St.
