Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
"WHERE TWINED THE PATH": THE TROSSACHS.
The portion of the Trossachs here shown is in itself very appropriately named from Scott's well-known line, being a winding piece of the narrow road, overshaded by trees, in one of the most sylvan parts of the celebrated pass, It is, however, doubtful whether it is the part really meant by the line itself, which seems to most readers, following the poem on the spot, to apply rather to some place where the rocky character of the gorge is not so completely hidden by trees. The road, as will be seen, is now made easy, and converted into a very different condition from that in which Fitzjames found it, when "grey birch and aspen wept beneath" as he passed along to meet the fair vision on Loch Katrine.
