Note 695 — REIGN OF GEORGE II.: 1727–1748.

Culloden Papers, p. 111. Edin. Ev. Courant, Oct. 9, 1729. This chronicle adds: ‘They named the bridge where the parties met Oxbridge.’ A statement which appears somewhat inconsistent with one already made in our general account of the Highland roads.

General Stewart of Garth, in his interesting book on the Highland Regiments, makes an amusing mistake in supposing that General Wade here condescended to be entertained by a set of cearnochs, or cattle-lifters.
