way lies along a narrow forest path,
among high and abrupt rocks. A path
still more romantic branches from it, and
leads up through the King’s Pass, to the
summit of the King’s Seat. This was a
favourite station of William the Lion,
when enjoying the pleasures of the
chace, and from which he discharged
his shafts at the deer, as they were
driven past him in crowds. At this
place, Queen Mary, when enjoying the
same pastime, narrowly escaped destruc¬
tion from an infuriated stag, which di¬
rected its rage against the beautiful
Queen. The view from King’s Seat is
very extensive, but less picturesque than
others in its vicinity.
THE END.
