John o'Groat's House
By WILLIAM BELL, Phil. Dr.
Does any authenticated view of the building called *John o'Groat's House* in Caithness exist, and are any traditions respecting it known beyond the certainly ridiculous account in the fifth volume of *Beauties of Scotland*, p.83.? Can any of your readers point out an engraving of the old *Konigs* or *Kaiserstuhl, at Rheuse*, on the Rhine, as well as of its restoration in 1848, after being destroyed by the hordes of revolutionary France, in 1792? It is not in Merian or Zeiler. I have seen it, but cannot call to mind the author. Perhaps *Alsatia Illustrata*?
