24-31 Aug 1775:13 (8/370)
Extract of a letter from Strathspy, in Scotland. The spirit
of emigration has reached this country; for on Tuesday
se'night about 200 persons rendezvoused at Aviemore, and
marched off for Greenock, where they are to embark for
America. Among these unfortunate persons was a woman of 83
years of age, on foot, with her son before her, playing
"Tullichgorum," on his bagpipes; Some of them had children
of a month old, which the fathers carried on their back in a
skull or wooden basket.
