WILD SPORTS OF THE HIGHLANDS 



time the whole of our troops, dogs, shepherds, and all were 

 collected; and great were the rejoicings over the fallen foe. 

 I must say. that though our game was ignoble, the novelty 

 of the proceedings, and the wildness and magnificence of 

 the scenery, had kept me both amused and interested. I 

 forget the name of the corrie: it was some unpronounceable 

 Gaelic word, signifying the "Corrie of the Echo."
