Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Celtic Monthly, Vol. 15: A Magazine for Highlanders
However, here I did face about at last, to return back towards Balgownie Brae, if ever I should be destined to see my own far off home again: for, to be very plain with the reader, my siller was now getting miserably scant in my roomy pockets the few spare garments in my wallet were in a sorely unthrifty condition, and my shoes had given me open intimation, that so far from lasting me out the campaign, they were determined not to carry me decently a league further. Besides this, I found that my stock of languages was actually quite run out here in the north; for I might as well never have paid a shilling for my learning, it being of not the least use to offer to talk Latin or Greek to a Highland wife on my road and as for plain En lish, they no more understood it than I did t eir Gaelic.
Well, towards home I returned, at length, as I before said; and having risen early one fine summer's morning, arrived betimes at the pleasant town of Inverness, meaning to pass directly through it, keeping straight on in my line of march to the southward, and taking advantage of any offered conveyance that might carry me through the lonesome Moor of Culloden in the neighbourhood.
