Inverness before Railways Quotes

“An aged lady in Inverness has often narrated to the writer the delight with which, in her youth, she used to visit the Blue House, when it was the abode of a gentleman known as 'Mr. Munro, Grenada'... There were beautiful gardens and a delightful conservatory attached to the house, but the real delight of the young people, who sometimes went there on a Saturday... was a room filled with foreign birds of brilliant plumage, having among them a parrot of such remarkable powers as had never been equalled by any parrot in Inverness.”
― Isabel Harriet Grant Anderson, Inverness before Railways
