Author Description

Excerpt from Highland Lassies, or the Roua Pass The lodge, a small gray stone building, stood on a platform of heather closely surrounded by high mountains, which, in G their desolate grandeur, shut it in from outward view: showing 1 in summer but the play of light and shadow on the many F coloured rock, as the glaring sun sent down its rays with fiery J fervour, and in Winter, only dreary heights sheeted with snow. There appeared to be neither egress from nor approach to it, 1 though there was a track branching from the parliamentary read about a mile to the west, and Winding in a zig-zag pass through the mountain chain until it abruptly ceased at this heather-clad opening.
