From the house is seen, through the trees, a peep of the thriving village of Catrine, situated a mile further up the river: it is built on a regu- lar plan, and, though it was commenced only 35 about eighteen years ago, it now contains nearly eighteen hundred souls; who are chiefly support- ed by the extensive cotton-works which were erected by David Dale, esq. Of Glasgow, and Mr. Alexander, his partner, in the year 1787. The works are now the property of Messrs. Kirk- man, Finlay, and Co. Of G...lasgow. The manufac- tory has a lofty and extensive front, closely glazed. Coming suddenly and unexpectedly through a country, wild as this is, upon such an object, glittering in the full blaze of a noon-tide sun, it has a most magnificent appearance; and, at the moment, seems rather the effect of magic than reality. 36 LINCLUDEN COLLEGE*.
