A little to the south of Forres, 86 and near the road, stands the remarkable obelisk, usually called Sweno's Stone; it is above 20 feet high; it has a number of figures cut on it, 88 which are still remarkably dis- tinct. There are various tra- ditions respecting it; one is, 91 that it was erected to com- memorate the murder of King Duffus in the castle of Forres, and the execution of the mur- 95 derers; another, that it com- memorates a victory over the Danes under Sweno, in the time of Malcolm II., about

Inverness contains a num- ber of goodly streets, and has usual public buildings of a large county town. The whole environs are beautiful in a high degree, and there is no town in Scotland which enjoys so many fine walks. The famous Castle of Inverness, which was the pro- perty and residence of Mac- beth, stood on an eminence to the east of the town, termed the Crown. This castle was destroyed by Malcolm Can- more, who soon after built an- other to serve as a royal resi- dence and fortress. This edi- fice was destroyed, in 1746, by the troops of Prince Charles Stuart, and only the wall of an interior rampart now remains.

The remains of the Fort which Oliver Cromwell built at Inver- ness are to be seen at the place where the Ness joins the sea. The most remarkable natural curiosity in the neighbourhood of Inverness is a strange oblong mound called Tom-na-heurich (hill of the fairies.) Inverness joins with Forres, Nairn, and Fortrose in electing an M.P.
of the figure seems to favour
of the obelisk the latter.
Brodie House, Brodie, Esq.
Auldearn was the scene of a victory gained, May 4, 1645, by the Marquis of Montrose over an army of the Covenanters, under Sir John Hurry.
In the neighbourhood of Nairn is Cawdor Castle, the seat of the Earl of Cawdor. It is one of the most ancient and entire baronial residences in Scotland. It stands upon a low rock 108 overhanging the bed of a tor- rent, and is surrounded by the largest sized forest trees. It is enclosed within a moat, and is approachable only by a draw- bridge. Macbeth was "Thane 114 of Cawdor."
At no great distance is Fort George, remarkable as the only the 115 regular fortification in
island, and as a complete archi- type in miniature of the great fortresses of the continent. 126 Fort George is a mile N.W. of Campbellton, 13 miles from In-
