[121] In 1749 a Mr. Bruce was appointed to survey the forfeited and unforfeited estates of the Highlands, including Glengarry’s. Pickle speaks of employing ‘Cromwell’ (Bruce) to draw up for him a judicial rent roll. The two Bruces, the surveyor and the Court Trusty, are obviously the same man, and he is probably the writer of the tract, _The Highlands in 1750_. (MS. 104. King’s Library.) [122] It is needless to consider the theory that Pickle was James Mohr Macgregor, who died in 1754. [123] Burt, i. 265-267. [124] Murray of Broughton’s _Memorials_, p. 107.
