Excerpt from Highland Parish Glencoe, chatter among the ruins of Iona, scramble over the wonders of Stafi'a, sail along the magnificent line of lakes to Inver ness, reach the sombre Coolins, and disturb the silence of Coruisk. Pedestrians, also, with stick and knapsack, search the more sol itary wilderness and glens of the mainland, from the Grampians to Ross-shire and Caith ness. Sportsmen, too, whether real or only make-believe, have their summer quarters in the Highlands dotted over every moor, scat terad on hill-sides and beside clear streams, with all the irregularity of the boulders of the great northern drift, but furnished with most of the luxuries of an English home. All these strangers, it must be admitted, know something of the Highlands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
