Her husband was for many years bow- man or herd to the late Dugald Gilchrist, Esq. Factor on the estate of Sutherland, and afterwards to the late Mr. William Mackay, of Uppat. So that she was al- ways among cattle, and consequently lived chiefly on milk. The situation of her house in Knockan was damp, surrounded by 164 PERSONS REMARKABLE FOR moss, and near the hill of Binarmin. She generally enjoyed good health, and more so since she passed a certain period : was always reckoned good-natured, a...nd of a temper not easily irritated : never used to- bacco in any shape. She lives now with her youngest son, and has another son living on the other side of the Clibrig Hill ; and though this hill is allowed to be the highest and steepest in the north, yet she still continues to cross straight over it and visit her other son ; she did so last summer, and says she expects to go next summer also : and with the exception of her being dull of hearing, she still enjoys all her fa- culties. The son she lives with, was for some years deer-keeper or forrester on the hill of Clibrig, by which means she would have access to a little venison soup some- times ; and in that country this article is reckoned very friendly to the constitution.
