[120] The tradition of Glengarry’s treachery has reached me both from Scotland and America, under dread secrecy!
[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.)
