both in the woods of the park
and flying to & from grain fields
along the main road.
  Many coaches, all after the style
of the "Jersey Car" with seats in rows
over the top and all crowded with
people passed us on the main road.
They fly to & from the famous bridge
at frequent intervals during the day.
One of the most interesting sights
was that of an immense flock of
Gulls (L [Larus] canus, L. [Larus] ridibundus, & a few
L. [Larus] argentatus) assembled in a wheat-
field (winter wheat, the fresh shoots a
few inches high) by the roadside. There
were fully five hundred in this flock
besides many Rooks. One of the last
which flew directly over us, no other 
bird being near, gave distinctly & 
repeatedly the cleur, cleur, cleua of
the Herring Gull which it doubtless
had learned by association.
Home at 7 P.M.
Edinburgh
Sept. [September] 11.- Clear and warm.
  Shopped a little in the morning.
Took 4.10 P.M. train for Larbert
arriving at 5.10. Harvie-Brown met
me at station with a four-wheeled
trap and coachman in very fine
livery. We drove at once to Dunipace
House, a beautiful place of about
800 acres, much less artificial than

knoll on one side a [sic] [and] just beyond

  On reaching the house a square 
stone structure, rather old-fashioned
and decidedly [sentence unfinished]
