New Turnpike from  
Carlisle 
   
Hints for a Tour in SCOTLAND; in an Original  
Letter from the Hon. DAINES BARRINGTON to a  
Friend (probably Mr. PENNANT.) 
  
July 17, 1771. 
  
DEAR SIR, 
  
The following Route is calculated for a wheel-carriage; and  
you may depend upon being accomodated throughout, at least  
as well as in Wales. 
  
From Carlisle there is a new turnpike quite to Edinburgh,  
with regular stages, and very decent accomodations. 
  
I don't recollect any thing worth mentioning on this road,  
except that when you come to Selkirk you should inquire for  
Melrose Abbey.- I would advise you to lye there, as the  
house is a very decent one. It is not above 5 or 6 miles out 
of the road to Edinburgh.
