Mr. Bryce, an architect of Glasgow, has erected a façade, of the time of our James I, of which the OPPOSITE PLATE is a faithful copy; and it must be allowed that he has been singularly happy in all its component parts. You enter through the arch of this façade; and almost every step afterwards is in ascent. From the summit of the hill I learnt that a view of Ben Lomond might be obtained on a favourable day.†

In one corner, at the extremity of the burial ground, is a portion set apart for the Interment of Jews. A large iron gate is at the entrance of it, with some lines from Lord Byron's Childe Harold applicable to the peculiar and yet unconverted race who are here carried to their long homes.
