Isles, and most northern part of his Bri¬ 
tannic Majesty’s dominions; supposed 
to be about eight miles long and four 
broad. 
A hill called Vallafield rises within a 
mile and a half of its northern extremity, 
and runs directly parallel to the western 
coast, to the very northern point. It is 
six hundred feet high. 
At right angles with this hill, stands 
Crossfield, nearly in the middle of the 
island. 
To the north lies Saxaforth, which is 
seven hundred feet high. It is the 
highest in the Island, and may be seen 
upwards of forty miles off the coast. 
A hill, called Vordhill, runs parallel to 
the east coast. 
Among these hills are tracts of level 
fertile ground, and the highest hill is 
still some feet covered with black moss. 
This island contains many fresh water 
lochs. That of Cliff is two miles long.
