The cone-like peak of Ben Lomond rises far above on the right, Ben Voirlich stands in front, and the jagged crest of Ben Arthur looks over the shoulders of the western hills. A Scotchman on board pointed out to us the remarkable places, and related many interesting legends.
It was resolved to anticipate this attack, and accordingly the militia made their way to Craig Royston; and having secured the boats on Loch Lomond, which belonged to the Macgregors, they proceeded to seek for Rob Roy.
It'll be dead easy, and I bet it'll make a hit too. You know the stunt lights down spotlight on the stage you in it singing in a low sweet voice 'Loch Lomond." "What!" "Sure thing." "What in Sam Hill has 'Loch Lomond' gotter do with 'Uncle Tom's Cabin!" demanded William truculently. "Them niggers never even heard of it, I'll bet."
"Oh! you'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye, But me an' my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond." There followed a scene the like of which the Variety had never witnessed. For long minutes the applause and cheering echoed and re-echoed through the theatre.
In any other country he would be considered amusing. He is regarded here as a monopoliser of the general interest, and his laurels, talk he never so well, overshadow the rest of the company. On leaving Gordon Castle, Willis crossed Scotland by the Caledonian Canal, and from Fort William jolted in a Highland cart through Glencoe to Tarbet on Lomond.
The Arcturus was detained several days discharging and taking in freight. I availed myself of the first train to visit Edinburg. A day there, and an excursion to Glasgow and Loch Lomond, agreeably occupied the time. I must confess the scenery beautiful as it is, and fraught with all the interest that history and genius can throw over it disappointed me. It was not what I expected.
"Well, this ain't no ordinary Uncle Tom's show, let me tell you that," retorted the manager. "We've doctored it up quite a bit. It's too slow for our bunch the way it is put on by most companies." "But 'Loch Lomond' in a nigger show! Gee! you're crazy. Next thing I know you'll want me to wear kilts."
Another of his collectors, a self-educated workman in the employ of the Duke of Argyll, writing more than thirty years ago to him, speaks of what used to take place about Loch Lomond upwards of fifty years before that is to say, about the beginning of the present century. The old people then would pass the winter evenings telling each other traditional stories.
I rather think this particular stretch of Loch Lomond, in front of Inversnaid, is the most beautiful lake and mountain view that I have ever seen.
The weather was magnificent, and the princely family had even come from Edinburgh with little Marcel, who is growing nicely, and sings already my compositions, yes, and even corrects when he hears someone making mistakes. Could it possibly be Loch Lomond? The Prince spoke of you with sincere kindness.
