Westerh Highlanders, Scotland

The people in these islands are generally civil, sagacious, circumspect, piously inclined, and given to hospitality. The women are very handsome, and bring forth children at a very great age. One Margery Brimbister, in the
parish of Evie, was, in the year 1683, brought to bed of a male child, in the sixty-third year of her age. By reason
of the temperance of their diet and wholesomeness of the air, the people usually live very long.
