"The population of Glenmutchkin is extremely dense. Its
situation on the west coast has afforded it the means of
direct communication with America, of which for many years
the inhabitants have actively availed themselves. Indeed,
the amount of exportation of live stock from this part of
the Highlands to the Western continent, has more than once
attracted the attention of Parliament. The Manufactures
are large and comprehensive, and include the most famous
distilleries in the world. The Minerals are most abundant,
and amongst these may be reckoned quartz, porphyry, felspar,
malachite, manganese, and basalt.

"At the foot of the valley, and close to the sea, lies the
important village known as the CLACHAN of INVERSTARVE. It is
supposed by various eminent antiquaries to have been the
capital of the Picts, and, amongst the busy inroads of
commercial prosperity, it still retains some interesting
traces of its former grandeur. There is a large fishing
station here, to which vessels from every nation resort, and
the demand for foreign produce is daily and steadily

enthusiasm inseparable from this glorious glen, that here,
in 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, then in the zenith of
his hopes, was joined by the brave Sir Grugar M'Grugar at
the head of his devoted clan.

"The Railway will be twelve miles long, and can be completed
within six months after the Act of Parliament is obtained.
The gradients are easy, and the curves obtuse. There are no
viaducts of any importance, and only four tunnels along the
whole length of the line. The shortest of these does not
exceed a mile and a half.

"In conclusion, the projectors of this Railway beg to state
that they have determined, as a principle, to set their face
AGAINST ALL SUNDAY TRAVELLING WHATSOEVER, and to oppose
EVERY BILL
