MacKillican. All that art, guided by good taste, could accomplish in embel- lishing and exposing to view the natural beauties of this estate, has been done for it. The old mansion-house, also, which stands on an eminence, a little way from the Findhorn, has been greatly enlarged, and finished off after the Italian fashion ; and behind it is a steep conical hill, called the Dun of Relugas, on the summit of which are the remains of a vitrified fort, communicating with similar signal-stations on b...oth the adjoin- ing valleys. 11. Returning to the course of the Findhora, we observe, just before its junction with the Divie, that it falls into a nar- row strait among the rocks by a running cataract, over which the Earls of Moray were wont, till recent times, to keep up a rustic wooden bridge for the use of the district. From Ran- dolph, the great head of their house, who himself used to pass here with a large troop of horsemen when on his way to and from his castle of Tarnaway, the spot is still called the " Brig of Rannoch, " and is connected with several memorable transac- tions.
