This was republished in Inverness in 1886. The work contains 110 pages, consisting of tales concerning Inverness and the immediately surrounding country. In 1848, was published at Dingwall another work, entitled, Historical and Traditional Sketches of Highland Families and of the Highlands, containing 128 pages.
