 August^ at the Loch of Kinnordy, is referred by Plowright (I. c, p.

X June 7th, when a party drove to Terregles, where the 

 factor, Mr. W. J. Maxwell, met them and showed them over the 

 " quhair," the old choir of Terregles, founded by the fourth Lord 

 Herries not long before his death in 1583, and which contains 

 the tombs of himself and his descendants. An account of the 

 edifice was given by Mr. James Barbour, architect. The party 

 then drove to Terregles House and inspected the beautiful 

 specimens of the botanical kingdom here collected in rich pro- 

 fusion. The remains of the bed slept in by Queen Mary, when 

 she stopped at Terregles on her flight to England, were also in- 

 spected. The next place visited was the Caledonian Circle at 

 Holyrood. At the largest of these circles a business meeting was 

 held, at which Mr. William Stone was elected a member. Holy- 

 rood Church was then visited, the remains of the Old Abbey 

 sought for, and the fine old bell inspected. Here Mr. R. Rimmer 

 F.L.S., the President of the Society,Vjoined the party and escorted 

 them to his residence, Dalawoodie House, to which he had in
