, the steeper mountains which encloseLochs not a few, and in the distance farScuir Vullens twin-shaped peaks, a landmark plain. Here late I wandered, pilgrim of the Earth Scaled the hillside and on the lonely top Stood long in thought. . . . The western squall had hung His heavy drapery oer the northern hills, Black glowered the storm-cloud oer Inchvarmies Heights, And through the mists and rain Ben Wy\-is showed But a faint vision of his awful form. The everlasting hills surrounded me. The inconstant heavens played oer hill and dale In sunny smile, or frowning storm again, Or rains mild influence, but the mountain shapes Abide unchanged, their outline rough and bare The same as eke it was in ancient days. When hardy Picts their darksome forests tracked. And watched the shining Firth from this same hill : The same as when Mackenzie of Kintail Lord of Kinellans Isle, upon this ridge Oercame proud Munro, and in yonder Strath Set up, in memory, the Eagle Stone.* Vide section Antiquities.
