One of the pleasantest countries I have seen

Tue 11 May 1784: Notwithstanding the long discontinuance of morning preaching, we had a large congregation at five. I breakfasted at the first house I was invited to at Inverness, where good Mr. M’Kenzie then lived. His three daughters live in it now, one of whom inherits all the spirit of her father. In the afternoon, we took a walk over the bridge into one of the pleasantest countries I have seen. It runs along by the side of the clear river and is well cultivated and well wooded. And here first we heard abundance of birds, welcoming the return of spring. The congregation was larger this evening than the last, and great part of them attended in the morning. We had then a solemn parting, as we could hardly expect to meet again in the present world.
