Mr. Alexander MacDonald of Kingsburgh and his lady were paying their compliments to my Lady Bruce, when it was proposed to read the above Account or Journal in the hearing of Kingsburgh, that so he might give his observations, or rather corrections upon it. He and the whole company (about 14 in number) declared their satisfaction in the proposal. There were present, John Fullarton, senior of Dudwick; James MacDonald, joiner in Leith; Lady Lude, with her eldest son and her daughter; Mrs. Graham and her son; Mrs. Rattray, Mrs. Jean and Rachel Houstons, etc. The Account was accordingly read, and Kingsburgh made [Sidenote: _fol._ 143.] the following observations: Page[66] 130, near the foot. Instead of Invergar, it should be Invergarry; a place belonging to the Laird of Glengarry. [66] These pages will be found by the marginal folios. Page 132, near the foot. Instead of Selpa, it should be Scalpa, commonly called the Island Glass. Page 134, at the foot. Instead of Irsky, it should be Eriska. Page 139, at the top. Kingsburgh said it was not fact that the boat was searched, and that the Prince should have heard what passed. _Ibid._ Instead of 15 long miles south south-east, it should be 7 long miles. _Ibid._ Kingsburgh was at pains to represent to the Prince the inconveniency and danger of his being in a female dress, particularly from his airs being all so man-like, and told him that he was very bad at acting the part of a dissembler. He advised him therefore to take from him a suite of Highland cloaths with a broadsword in his hand, which would become him much better. But in the meantime that he should go out of his house in the female dress, lest the servants should be making their observations, and stop at the edge of a wood upon the side of a hill, not far from the house, where he and others should come to him with the Highland cloathes, broadsword, etc. Mrs. MacDonald said that she behoved to employ her daughter as handmaid to the Prince for putting on his womens [Sidenote: _fol._ 144.] cloaths, 'For,' said she, 'the deel a preen he could put in.' When Miss MacDonald (_alias_ Mrs. MacAllastar[67]) was a dressing of him, he was like to fall over with laughing. After the peeness, gown, hood, mantle, etc., were put on, he said, 'O, Miss, you have forgot my apron. Where is my apron? Pray get me my apron here, for that is a principal part of my dress.' [67] This is interlined in the manuscript. See f. 216. She married Ronald MacAlister, of the family of Loup. Kingsburgh and his lady both declared that the Prince behaved not like one that was in danger, but as chearfully and merrily as if he had been putting on women's cloathes merely for a piece of diversion.
