He was lying in philosophick tranquillity with a greyhound of Col's at his back, keeping him warm. Col is quite the Juvenis qui gaudet canibus. He had, when we left Talisker, two greyhounds, two terriers, a pointer, and a large Newfoundland water-dog. He lost one of his terriers by the road, but had still five dogs with him. I was very ill, and very desirous to get to shore.
Is it not better to share the profits of his estate, to a certain degree, with his kinsmen, and thus have both social intercourse and patriarchal influence? We had a very good ride, for about three miles, to Talisker, where Colonel M'Leod introduced us to his lady. He was a little lively young man.
What keenness of business-discussion mingled with what galore of whisky there is everywhere! The whisky seems to make no more impression than if it were ginger-beer; and yet it is over-proof Talisker, as my throat and eyes find to their cost when I recklessly attempt to imitate Coignasgailean and take a dram neat.
We met them as we walked up. There were Rasay himself; his brother Dr. Macleod; his nephew the Laird of M'Kinnon; the Laird of Macleod; Colonel Macleod of Talisker, an officer in the Dutch service, a very genteel man, and a faithful branch of the family; Mr.
It holds rather more than a bottle and a half. Every laird of M'Leod, it is said, must, as a proof of his manhood, drink it off full of claret, without laying it down. From Rorie More many of the branches of the family are descended; in particular, the Talisker branch; so that his name is much talked of.
He has particularities which it is impossible to explain . He never wears a night-cap, as I have already mentioned; but he puts a handkerchief on his head in the night. The day that we left Talisker, he bade us ride on. He then turned the head of his horse back towards Talisker, stopped for some time; then wheeled round to the same direction with ours, and then came briskly after us.
"It iss a little spirits you will be tasting, and this iss Talisker which I will be keeping for a friend, for whisky iss not for women." She was full of attention, but when Carmichael took milk instead of whisky, her suspicions revived, and she eyed him again. "You are not one of those new people I am hearing of in the Lowlands that are wiser than the fery Apostles?"
If the world has agreed to praise the travels and manual labours of the Czar of Muscovy, let Col have his share of the like applause, in the proportion of his dominions to the empire of Russia. This young gentleman was sporting in the mountains of Sky, and when he was weary with following his game, repaired for lodging to Talisker.

It was dark before I went; yet a few days after I was told, 'Well, you have been with Lord North. That the door of the prime minister should be watched is not strange; but that a member of parliament should be watched, or that my door should be watched, is wonderful. We set out this morning on our way to Talisker, in Ulinish's boat, having taken leave of him and his family. Mr.
