DUNKELD TO BLAIR ATHOLE. 297 



there is a "Mairi Dhubli," and a "Molachag" or sister 

 to Molachag, and dire verbal difficulties crowd on us. 

 Macdonald's are not merely verbal; and when we 

 remember how the Breadalbane heifers (rather a wild 

 breed to begin with) were hurdled off there, and 

 how nearly we had our own cheek-bone broken in 

 the North, we can quite sympathize with his re- 

 miniscences : " We had a yaie job with the ladies at 

 the Stirling Show terribly wicked, fearfully wicked."
