Excerpt from Scotland and the Scotch: Or the Western Circuit, Dedicated to the Highland Society An excursion in Scotland wants the novelty and adventure of savage life neither can it boast of anything to com pare with the gorgeous paraphernalia of a continental tour The traveller must here dispense with carnivals, operas, cath edrals, restaurateurs, brigands, improvisa tori, arch-dukes, and ex-kings; nor can he fall into raptures about the Venus de Medici, or the climate, but to compensate for these lamentable deficiencies, we have in the Highlands old traditions, second sight, bagpipes, witchcraft, clans, tartan, whiskey, heather, muir-fowl, red deer, and J acobites!
