CD to his Father Oct 1825 Edinburgh Sunday morning [CUL-DAR154.68]

We got into our lodgings yesterday evening, which are very comfortable and near the College. Our Landlady, by name Mrs Mackay, is a nice clean old body and exceedingly civil and attentive.

The terms are ₤1-6 for two nice and light bedrooms and a sitting room; by the way light bedrooms are very scarce articles in Edinburg, since most of them are little holes in which there is neither air nor light. We called on Sr Hauley the first morning, whom I think we never should have found had it not been (for) a good natured Dr of Divinity who took us into his library & showed us a map, and gave us directions how (to) find him: Indeed all the Scotchman are so civil and attentive, that it is enough to make one Englishman ashamed of himself.
