IN THE TROSSACHS GLEN.
The Gaelic word Trossachs" signifies "rough, rugged, or bristled country," and is well bestowed on the celebrated pass or glen which Scott has made immortal. The Rev. Dr Robertson of Callander had, in 1768, celebrated its marvellous beauty and grandeur; but it required Ellen, Roderick Dhu, and Snowdoun's knight to reveal it to the world. Before Scott's time there was no issue from the glen except by a sort of ladder up the rock, composed of the branches and roots of trees. The rock has now been cut through, and the road smoothed; but not so as to impair the effect of wildness and sublimity. Near the entrance is shown the spot where Fitzjames lost at once his stag and his gallant grey—for everybody has a kind of conviction that all really happened as the poem describes.
