HALF-WAY up the east coast of Scotland, the estuary of the North Lour / cuts a wide cleft in an edge of the Lowlands, and flows into the North / Sea among the sands and salmon nets.
The river winds in large curves through the shingles and green patches / where cattle graze, overhung by woods of beech and birch, and pursuing / its course through a country in full cultivation -- a country of large / fields; where rolling woods, purple in the shadow, stretch north / towards the blue Grampians.
