" - From a letter in the handwriting of Mr. Geuige Innes, Forres. " Lyon in Mourning, " vol. Ii. P. 209. 2)UfZJf7?nZff AVTOGK \l'll OF DUNCAN FORBES OF CUI. T. ODEN CHAPTER IV " As I came in by Inverness, The April sun was sinking down ; O there I saw the weel-faur'd lass, And she was greeting through the town. The grey-hair'd men were a' i' the streets, The auld dames crying (sad to see !) ' The flower o' the lads o' Inverness Lie bluidy on Culloden Lee ! ' " )HE Inverness of 1746 was a vastly... different place from the clean, flourishing, and populous town with which we of the twentieth century are acquainted. Instead of the many fine, well-stocked shops, the substantial public-buildings, the handsome churches of all denomi- nations, the commodious hotels, and the pretty flower- bedecked villas that now adorn and beautify the modern "Capital of the Highlands, " we are informed by the writers of the eighteenth century that the Inverness of their day possessed only two tolerably good thoroughfares ; a few mean shops, in which the necessaries of life could be purchased at high prices ; and but two churches, one for the English-speaking inhabitants, and the other for the natives who preferred to worship in the Gaelic tongue, both languages being spoken by rich and poor alike.
