 adventurous spirits, amongst which we east our lot, under the 

 kindly guidance of the steward, Mr T. Huggan, scaled the 

 neighbouring hills to have a look at the ancient Camp, 

 Macartney's Cave, and the glorious panorama to be seen from 

 Callaly heights. On the way we passed a quarry, which, in 

 addition to providing the stone for some of the Callaly 

 improvements, had within the last twelve months yielded food 

 for the antiquarian in the shape of several ancient British 

 tombs, one of which contained an urn in an excellent state of 

 preservation, now in the Museum. 



The magnificent Stables, surmounted b}' the handsome clock 

 striking the Westminster chimes, next claimed our attention. 

 These are erected some little distance from the hall, and may be 

 briefly described as a princely establishment for man's noblest 

 friend. Here, also, we were shown the splendid engines and 

 dynamos for producing the electric light, which not only sheds 

 its benign influence in every part of Callaly Castle, but even 

 lights the cigars of the players in the billiard room. 



At four o'clock the dinner bell rang out, and soon the 

 handsome dining saloon, wainscotted with oak, and adorned 

 with magnificent tapestries and oil paintings, resounded to the 

 cheerful music of the knife and fork.
