CASTLE CAMPBELL. 141 



science we need only enumerate those of Joanna Baillie, Thomas Campbell, 

 Ramsay, Graham, and Findlay ; William and John Hunter, Dr. Moore, arid his 

 son, the gallant Sir John Moore, who fell at Corunna, Professor Young, and the 

 patriotic Lord Archibald Campbell. 



FIPE, ABERDEEN, AND MORAY. 



WITH SCENES FROM PERTH, INVERNESS AND ROSS. 



BEFORE passing the boundaries of the first of these, the " Kingdom of Fife," 

 we shall here, in addition to those already presented, introduce two illustrations 

 of Perthshire, which arrived too late to be included under that particular head. 

 The first of these, Castle Campbell, near the now classic village of Dollar,* 

 has long enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most picturesque and 

 romantic ruins in the kingdom. The advantages of situation have been greatly 

 enhanced by the associations of history ; and in a survey of this noble relic of 

 a chivalrous age, the eye is fascinated with the natural scenery, while the mind 

 is furnished with ample materials for meditation. 



.... " C'est un vieux fort, qui, du haul des collines, 

 Tyran de la contree, efl'roi de ses vassaux, 

 Portait jusqn'au ciel 1'orgueil de ses creneaux : 

 Qui, dans ces temps affreux de discorde et d'alarmes, 

 Vit les grands coups de lance et les nobles fails d'armes 

 De nos preux chevaliers." . . . 



Castle Campbell never recovered from the ravage of the civil war, when the 

 troops under Montrose laid waste the country, and wreaked their vengeance in 

 a more particular manner on this baronial fastness the lowland residence of 

 the rival chief Campbell, marquess of Argyll, from whom the castle derives its 

 modern name. Before the invention of gunpowder, it must have been a place 

 nearly impregnable ; being surrounded on three sides by a profound natural 

 fosse, down the shaggy sides of which numerous torrents are precipitated into 



TENNANT, the author of " Anster Fair," the " Thane of Fife," and other well-known works all 

 admirable in their kind is Master of the DOLLAR ACADEMY, and a man whose acquaintance is eagerly 

 courted.
