crossed the Lubnaig and came to the spot where the Teith issues from Loch Vannachhar. This is the spot called Coilantogle's Lord where the knight of Snowdon fought with Rhoderic Dhu.
We passed by the high peak of Ben Ledi, and came to the spot where Rhoderic sounded his whistle, and
"Instant, through copse and heath, arose,
Bonnets, and spears, and bended bows."
Loch Vennachar is five miles long and about a mile and a half in breadth. Its shores are very pretty with clusters of huts every here and there. As we went on
"Duncraggon's huts appeared at last,
And peeped, like moss grown rocks, half seen,
Half hidden in the copse so green."
Soon after we entered the beautiful glen, called Glenfinlas, and neared the spot where stood and still stands
"the copse wood grey
That waved and wept on Loch Achray,
And mingled with the pine trees blue
Of the bold cliffs of Benvennue."
In a few minutes we passed over the "Brigg O'Turk" and saw the bold peak of Benvennue which in its stately majesty is scarcely surpassed by any other mountain in Scotland.
Soon after we reached Loch Achray and the Trossachs. The Trossachs as well as Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond are certainly the most beautiful spots in Scotland, and among the most beautiful spots in the world. Trossachs.Crag over crag, hill over hill, and high peaks towering over all with mountain, trees and plants waving in the breeze
