JULY 30. to August 1. - Corehouse; Lord Corehouse. This is decidedly the grandest place on the banks of the Clyde, embracing, as it does, a very extensive reach cf the river, including the celebrated Falls of the Clyde, and the Bonnington Falls. The beauty of Corehouse is also increased by the extent and magnificence of the plantations on the Bonnington side of the river, which, to a stranger, seem as much a part of the Corehouse estate as if they belonged to it; indeed, these two estates seem formed to lend a mutual effect to each other. The Corehouse estate extends considerably into the interior, on its own side of the river; and, as the surface is beautifully varied, it affords fine situations for planting, and also a number of little rills and waterfalls, which, in some places, leap from rock to rock, down steep declivities several hundred feet in height above the level of the Clyde, into which they fall. The rills, the wooded banks of the river, in some places consisting of steep rocks and in others of smooth turf, and the grand waterfall of Corra Lin, constitute the principal natural features of the place; and we shall hereafter see that they have been greatly improved by art.
