Download or read book Scenes and Stories of the North of Scotland Classic Reprint written by Associate Professor in International Communication Sociology and Cultural Studies in the Faculty of Arts John Sinclair and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Stories of the North of Scotland This book has been written with a three-fold aim: to awaken interest, to stimulate, and to amuse. The scenes described have been selected chiefly from parts of Scotland which are remote, or aside, from the ordinary thoroughfares of travel, and are therefore less known than they deserve to be. I have tried to present them as vividly as possible, so as to awaken in others an interest in them. If many more travellers are induced to visit these localities, they will not be disappointed, and I shall be pleased. Again, no one reaps full benefit from travel who does not go to and fro with open eyes, open ears, open mind, and open heart. What a pitiful lot are many of our modern sight "do"-ers, who take in no more from nature than the eye of a calf might do! Not for these do I write; but for very many - I hope the majority after all - who long to taste the sweet secrets of nature, and through these to reach a better knowledge of her great Author. I like to think that God, Who has made all that is beautiful and grand, and has given to us any sense or love of these which we possess, is Himself the prime Admirer of the varied scenery of His world.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales In his tour through the Islands, Campbell Of Isla - my authority for these particulars - visited one of the Old story-tellers in his home. The man was far advanced in years, and he lived in a rude hut on the shore at South Uist. Campbell describes the scene in detail. The hut consisted of one room only. The fireplace was the floor, and the chimney a hole above it, - so that the air was dense with peat-smoke, whilst the rafters were hung with streamers and festoons of soot. The Old man himself had the manner Of a prao tised narrator, - he would chuckle at certain places in his story, and, like an Ancient Mariner or like one of the Weird Sisters, would lay a withered finger on the listener's knee when he came to the terrifying parts. A little boy in a kilt stood at his knee, gazing in his wrinkled face, and devouring every word. Whilst the story lasted, three wayfarers dropped in, listened for a while, and then proceeded on their way. The daylight streamed down the chimney, lighting up a tract in the blue mist Of the peat-smoke and falling on the white hair and brown wrinkled face Of the Old man, as he sat On a low stool by the fire, and on the rest Of the dwelling, with its furniture of boxes and box-beds, dresser, dishes, gear of all sorts, - until at last it faded away, through shades of deepening brown, to the black darkness of the smoked roof and the corner where the peat was stored.

The goat or deer track that he followed became every moment more and more blocked up with stony fragments, until at length it offered one continuous series of dangerous steps, requiring his utmost care and atten tion to preserve him from a slip or fall that might have been fatal. Whilst he was thus proceeding, with his whole attention occupied in self-preservation, he was suddenly challenged in Gaelic by a rough voice in his front.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shamrock and Thistle: Or, Young America in Ireland and Scotland; A Story of Travel and Adventure It is not so easy to convey useful and valuable information, even in regard to foreign lands, as it is to tell an interesting or an exciting story. The plan of this and the subsequent volumes of the series includes a certain amount of geo graphical and historical matter, which may not be as accept able to the young reader as exciting incidents of personal adventure; but it is hoped there will be enough of the latter to season the former, and render the useful and valuable palatable to the reader.
