to regulate his journeys that he may immediately 

 remove from one place to another should he not 

 meet with anything worth detaining him. By 

 taking the route I have pointed out, wind and 

 weather permitting, it will give him many advan- 

 tages. The parish of Northmaven and the neigh- 

 bourhood of Scallaway are of all others, so far as 

 I am acquainted with Shetland, to be preferred ; 

 and to the admirer of the wild and grand scenes 

 of nature, Northmaven will afford high gratifica- 

 tion and sufficient employment both for his pen 

 and his pencil. 



For the information of the traveller I subjoin a 

 list of the steam-vessels now voyaging between 

 London and Hull, Hull and Leith, Leith and 

 Orkney, Orkney and Shetland.
