of Inverness. This isle is formed by a division into
two branches of the river Beauly; it is of an oval figure,
and about a mile and a half in circumference, comprising
an area of fifty acres. Aigash is chiefly whinstone.
It rises, in a slope, about a hundred feet above
the level of the water; and being covered with natural
oak, birch, alder, and other trees, presents, with the
surrounding rocks, a beautiful and picturesque appearance.
The islet communicates with the main land by
a bridge.
