Oft' times these handsome gentlemen appeared in the garb of old Gaul.
In the year 1843 we were, though but a boy, at a fair at Cawdor Castle. Readers of Shakespeare's Macbeth will have often found Cawdor mentioned therein; the village of Cawdor is but a few miles from Culloden Moor. While we were there the old Highland people, in their broken English, were declaring that the Stuarts19 were collecting arms, and that the Clans were going to join them; those gentlemen wore the Highland garb, and were highly respected. They had lived in Cawdor for some years; one ox them built a Hermitage of wicker-work on high bank of river, which remains entire and in good repair to the present day.
