Its course being changed by this obstruction, it proceeds dup east, with a retarded and majestic current, across the narrow valley, and forces a sinular passage Digitized by Google i88 through the outer ridge. On each bank is a beautii^ ful semicircular piece of flat ground, fenced on the north, by a gentle swell, which continue unbrok^ between the two great ridges, and on the south by a similar swell, which is parted from the great ridge on the west, by the deep and rocky bed of the rivftr Bra...n. The Bran comes roaring fiom the hills in a north-east direction, but losing its rapidity, when it reaches the plain ground, winds beautifully through green meadows, fringed with wood, till it joitte the Tay. Opposite to the point of junction, is the town of Dunkeld, extending in a single street, along the north bank of the river. The houses are of stone, covered with dark blue slates. Those next the Tay have gardens sloping down to the watered edge. The opposite side of the street is £^rmed, for about seventy or eighty yards, by the ruins of the old cathedral, which give an air of venerable desola- tion to this quarter of the town.
