es. About the centre of the town, we passed what looked like one
enormous church, with a lofty tower at the western end; but we found
that it consisted of four parish churches, which are built side by side,
so as to form one edifice.

"I wish that all Christian communities could thus live in unity,"
observed papa.

These churches were, as may be supposed, all Presbyterian. There are
several others in the town. We were told that there were nearly ninety
schools in Dundee, at which upwards of four thousand children are
educated. One of the most interesting places which claimed our
attention was the Watt Institution, established in honour of James Watt,
for the instruction of young men in science. There are also nearly
forty mills for spinning flax, weaving linen, sail-cloth, sacking, and
cordage. On the quay stands a handsome arch, built after a Flemish
model. Besides the patent slip and graving dock, there are three wet
docks and two tidal harbours, while other improvements are being carried
on; so that Dundee is a most flourishing place.

Not far off is Camperdown, once the residence of Lord Duncan, who called
it after the famous victory he won over the Dutch; and a little distance
further is Rossie Priory, belonging to the Kinnaird family.

As we were anxious to look into Saint Andrews, we sailed again next
morning, in the hope that the wind would continue in the north, or at
all events that we should be able to beat down thus far. It is situated
on the south shore of Saint Andrew's Bay, some little way outside the
entrance to the Firth of Tay. The wind favoured us more than we
expected; and a pilot-boat showing us the way, we stood into the
harbour, passing close under the peninsula on which the town stands.
Above us were the ruins of the cathedral and the chapel of Saint Rule,
who was supposed to have founded the place, with several other
buildings. Saint Andrews presented a very quiet aspect, forming a great
contrast to the bustling town of Dundee; but I must say it is a far more
picturesque place. Of course we visited the university, the most
ancient in Scotland. It consists of the colleges of Saint Salvator,
Saint Leonard, and Saint Mary. There is also a school called the Madras
College, founded by Dr Bell, the originator of the Madras system of
education. By means of these colleges, at which an almost free
education can be obtained, young Scotchmen without means are able to
enjoy advantages whic
