GRAND STRATHGLASS
NOBLEST OF SCOTLAND’S CHARM
ING VALLEYS.
THE DERIVATION OF NAMES—SOME SCOT
TISH HISTORY AND BEAUTIFUL
WORD PAINTING.
[Copyrighted for the Enquirer-Sun.]
Strathglass, Scotland, October 18,
1890.—It was an earnest weleome that
came to me from the indwellers at the
sweet old lonely manse of Fasnakyle in
the heart of grand Strathglass among the
grim peaks of Northern Scotland. Though
the night was already failing like a dark
wing from the crags as we descended from
the stage-coach, the situation and sur
roundings of the Manse could be vaguely
discerned. The great strath stretched east
and west for half a day’s journey in front.
The river Glass, from whence Strathglass
derives its name swept by the very edge of
the coach-road beside ns with strong,
even flow, and a sort of half roar and
song over its level though rocky bed.
Behind, to the north, perhaps a dozen
acres of land, a part of which belonged
to the Manse, was formed in a sort of a
horse-shoe-like pocket, or dell, behind
which rose the mountains to lofty heights
and down whose rough old sides, through
tiny burns, came melodious rills, which
here and there, beneath the road, leaped
and tumbled into the Glass below. Larches
grim, tall and wraith-like in the shadows
half hid the Manse and its low stone out
buildings; and the lights streaming
through the great doors and windows flung
fantastic shadow scenes of waving larch
and happy children along the walks of
gravel white as snow.
There in the great door were the
household members, all gathered for the
coming of their head and the stranger.
The guidwife first, fine and tall, grand in
the physique of the old Norse race from
which she sprang, gave us gentle, earnest
greeting. Then came the minister’s
assistant, a pure Gael, tali, Jiuge and an
gular, but with a manhood in his face and
grasp in his hand which did one good to
see and feel. Then two domestics,
SHY, VOICELESS HIGHLAND GIRLS,
who knew little of English but much of
every da* duty. These and the flaxen
haired bairns in every attitude and place
beamed kindness and welcome. Soon
supper is served in the roomy dining
room, off the great hall. This room also
answers for the two clerics’ study and li
brary. In the few minutes intervening
between our arrival and the meal, the
five bairns ebbulaHt with life and joyous
ness have have bade the stranger good
night, and are hushed in slumber. The
minister’s assistant says grace with that
honesty of faith and feeling that thrills to
one’s heart as a genuine blessing. The
meal, modest enough in itself, yet deli
cious in its snowy scones crisp bacon,
fresh laid eggs, and honest Highland
cream and butter, is given the sparkling
zest of perfect hospitality devoid of of
fensive protestation, and that sweetest of
all converse issuing from pure hearts,
healthful bodies and cultured intellects;
and is all too short after an hour’s dura
tion, and then' the guidwife excuses her
self for a bit; the shy domestics enter and
remove the cloth and belongings; and then
oh, horror to the super-sensitive! some
good old honest Highland pipes, black as
the night behind the window panes are
brought; and in the “auld reekie” of their
rings and wreaths two hours come and
go in talk and tales of the North so swiftly
that 10 o’clock has come, and the cloth is
again laid by the silent handmaids before
we are aware. Then the guidwife returns
and porridge hot, steaming hot, with
pints and pints of cream, are served. This
disposed, the shy maidens return, each
with a book in her hand. They seat
themselves, and I am handed a simiiar
book. Its title is
“THE SCOTTISH PSALTER,”
being the ‘‘Psalms in Metre, with the
Paraphrases and a Selection of the Prose
Psalms.” The book is cut entirely
through the contents, between the covers,
the “Sol Fa” system of notes being
printed at the top, and the paraphrases
beneath. Suddenly a to me strange thren
ody filled the room. Five treble voices
had broken forth into a most impressive
chant:
Key G.
] m:- | r:d | | r:t, | d:r [ t,:-||etc |
Srath-an-radhair, is the valley of good
grass or pasture, Strathgroy, in Perth
shire, from Srathdhnidth, is the valley
where the Druids dwell. Strachur, in Ar-
gyle, was once Strath-a-choire, or valley of
the ravine. Strathcrombel, in Boss-shire,
is from Srath-crombeul, or the valley of
the curved opening, an exact description in
the fewest possible words. Then there is
Stratheam, of Strath-ear-an, in Perth
shire, the valley of the east-running river.
Strathbrock, in Linlithgowshire, is from
Strath-a-bhruic, the valley of the badgers,
Strathbran, found both in the shires of
Perth and Ross, was in Gaelic, Strath
Craoin, or valley of the dropping or driz
zling showers. Again, in Perthshire, is
Strathhallen from Srath-aluinn, the fair
and beautiful valley, and Strathtummel,
corrupted from Strath-teth-thuil, is the
valley of the fierce stream or torrent. And
here, away in the ragged northern edge of
the shire of Inverness, is this wonderful
Strathglass, to the Gaels Srathglass, their
“gray valley;’’ gray in the skies above it,
gray in its valley-bed where the stubble
fields, banks of clay and
DREAMFUL RIVER BLEND:
gray, despite the splatches of crimson laid
by the pencils of the frost, gray in the
masses of birch, in the myriads of lichened
crags; and gray in the very mists of its
countless waterfalls.
Not 1,000 people in all Scotland know
of the existence of this grand “Gray
Valley.” Not one hundred families can
b« found within it from end to end. No
Murray or Black has ever penetrated its
depth to describe it. The old Highlanders
look at me curiously from the doors of
their crofts, and doubt that I am from so
far a land as America. To their ken, I
am the first|American to know Strathglass.
And what a thrill comes to one at the con
sciousness of possibly being the first
American to be seen, nearly at the thresh
old of the twentieth century, anywhere on
the face of this great earth! The noble
strath opens to the German ocean at
Beauly, and with a gradual ascent cleaves
straight and true through the
MIST-WREATHED MOUNTAINS
for nearly thirty miles to the
southwest, aipl then breaks into two west
ern chasms, Glen Cannich and Glen Afric,
which nearly equil Strathglass in beauty
and grandeur. It is all one region. And
across the seventy or eighty miles from
sea to sea there are just two estates, that
of the Chisholms of Chisolm, and Kin-
tail of Ross-shire. These cover the
straths and glens, reaching far over upon
the mountains to the north and soutli and
from GOO to 800 hundred square miles of
land are possessed by these two fami
lies. More than one half of this is en
closed as game preserve, and is controlled
through rental as such by one man. That
means that down through the past century
thousands of people, who, through the in
herent rights of clanship and precisely the
same original right to lands they occupied
as had the heads of the clans themselves,
have been driven from their homes, that
one man, able to pay £10,000 per year in
rentals, £10,000 a year in the expenses of
hunting-lodges, gamekeepers and, gillies,
and as much more in litigation,could come
here once a year and butcher red deer;and
those red deer as as tame, from the ab
sence of humankind, as the mild-eyed
cows that stand in crofter’s byres.
There :s little of human interest in this
1. The heavens’ declare the | glory of | God; ||
an'i* the firma*ment showeth• his handiwork.
2. Day unto day’ utter*eth speech,jj and night’
unto night | showeth | knowledge.—
and thus, with quaver, rapid utterance of
sustained notes, and with frequent solemn
pauses, they swept through the fourteen
verses of Psalm XIX.
Then, after this weird and joyous can
ticle, followed prayer by the minister of
Fasnakyle. It was none of your halting,
limping, rheumatic prayers that go by fits
and starts on splintered, spiritual crutches.
It was Ahearty, healthy Highland prayer,
fuli of fervor, vigor, spirit, which tilled
the whole manse with both sound and
brightness, even as these mountain tor
rents roar and flash and echo through
their mighty gorges and glens; and if a
pilgrim writer ever got notice where
prayer is heard and welcomed, one cer
tainly bad impressive attention directed
to bis needs this hospitable night. Then
with Uandgrasps ali around, the host and
hostess not forgetting their silent hand
maids in the good-night ceremony, the in
mates of the manse separated. And in my
great chamber that night, even with 'he
larches beat it g ggewsomely at the win
dows and the
HIGHLAND WINDS WHISTLING SO WILDLY
down tbe passes that the house shook and
the chimneys creaked above and soughed
drearily in their fire-places beneath, I
passed from consciousness to sleep and
dreams with the one thought above all:
That the far-away world and its grinding
activities hoid nought in all their mighty
possibilities like the blessed content, peace
and faith, beneath the roof of this one
loneiy Highland manse.
There is something positively bewitch
ing in digging out the meaning of the old
Gaelic names of things and places, still
retained in the every-day topography of
Scotland. The beauty and expressiveness
of their application are remarkable. Take
the single word strath as an example.
Strath is English for the Gaelic Srath.
It means a vailey. But it means still
more. It is a valley confined by hills or
mountains on either side, through which
a river runs. Then to any one who has
lived, or wandered lovingly in Scotland,
how perfect in description, covering,
whole necessary sentences in
our own language, are the compact
suffixes. Stranraer, in Wigtown, from
MAGICAL GRAY VALLEY.
The interminable scenes of splendor are
what would bring you again and again to
it when you had once known it. Indeed
it may be called so close a preserve that one
commits trespass in entering it, unless
your feet are kept within the track of the
two roads, which thread-the valley. These
wind along the mountain bases above and
at either side of the river Glass, and
finally branch into bridle paths among the
western glens. Passing up the strath
from Beauly one gentleman’s seat is found.
A little farther on an,avenue of sycamores
leads to Erchless castle, the great hall of
the Chisholms of Chisholm, who fought
to the death at Culloden for “bonnie
Prince Charlie.” The Chisholms they
have always been called; an old chief of
the clan once saying there were but three
persons in the world entitled to the dis
tinction of this prefix—the pope, the king
and the Chisholm. Early in the century
the male line became extinct, and the at
torneys of the estate, which covers vast
Strathglass and more, for forty years
searched the whole earth for an heir final
ly discovering one in the person of a strug
gling, half-starved clerk in New York.
He also died without male issue a few
years since; and the wife and daughters,
living in regal splendor,are not deeply sad
dened because another “the” Chisholm is
difficult to discover.
Besides Erchless castle, there are the
hamlet of Struy, containing less than a
half dozen houses; not over a score of
crofter’s houses,
little; specks of white
down there in the depths of the’vailey;
a tiny Catholic chapel—for Cromwell anil
Knox could never quite annihilate the old
religion in these Highland fastnesses—
and near it the vastest and most curious
cross on earth, hundreds of feet in height
cut into the escarpment of the southern
mountain wall; the Manse where I am liv
ing and the little Free Church at Fasna
kyle bridge; and finally the hamkt of
Tomick whose inhabitants are wholly de
pendents of Lord Tweedmouth, whose es
tate of 50,000 acres, Genskachan (Gaelic,
“place of the firs") stretches away to the
southwest behind the mouutaiu walls
which shut in Glen Affric to its nortii.
In the British National Gallery or
somewhere in London, is a wondrous
painting of Strathglass. McWhirter,
painter of the “Three Graces,” found the
marvelous strath, lived in this manse for
the many, many months he was at work,
and though he produced undoubtedly the
most magnificent landscape ever piaced
Upon canvas, his own desperate discour
agement at being unable to convey to oth
ers what lie himself saw and felt was a
pitiful commentary upon the occasional
utter inadequacy of the
sublimesr interpretations of art.
Here upon this jutting crag he stood. It
is where the strath breaks to the north
west into the higher, gloomier, grander
reach of Glen Affric. Strathglass
itself sweeps to the east and west with
unobstructed views for half a score of
miles in either direction. If your fancy
be a glowing one, put it to its most fer
vent test in picturing the wildest, sweet
est, weirdest and most gloriously beauti
ful spot within its powers of creation, ami
you have not then got even a glimpse of
the magical fascinations of Strathglass.
The entire southern horizon for a
range of twenty miles is a serrated edge
of rock and fir-crowned mountain heights,
above escarpments of steel gray stones; of
lichened masses of rock and dead trees
uprodted by howling tempests; of aider,
oak and birch with foliage so luxuriant
that, in the distance, they seem like hang
ing banks of moss; of firs so dark in their
green as to almost stand there like up
right beds of purple heather, and of
countless misty indentations and depths,
here and there sinuously lined by the
feathery course of some foaming water
fall. The bed of the strath, for all this
distance, while 2,000 feet below where
you are standing, appears to the eye as
smooth and level as the hushed waters of
some dreamful loch. Only for that one
thread of silver gray, the Glass river,
winding from side to side in matchless
curves and lines, and the white specks of
crofters’ huts which, in your fancy, are
transformed
INTO FAB, FAINT SAILS,
would the illusion remain complete.
While to your left, mountain masses in
gigantic swaths, or like emerald headlands
in endlesss succession above some peace
ful shore, burst into view, advancing, re
treating, with interstices of opaline hue,
where the burns and mighty chasms are,
as if color in nature throbbed and ebbed
until fading away into a languorous deatfi
in blue and purple and mist.
To the west more glorious still are strath
and mountain views. From the north a
wild torrent comes pouring down from
weird Glen Cannich through a corge so
deep and vast that even the roaring of the
cataracts is muffled and still. High above
this for 2,000 feet leaps grand Knockfin
or “Fingal’s Fort,” its summit girdled by
two enormously thick walls of stone. Past
this to the south and west, uplands rise
and roll in matchless valley ascents to the
wilds and mysteries of lone Glen Affric.
Behind, to the north, far Ben Wyvis giant
monarch of the North, thrusts its peak
above dark and stately mountain piles.
Mam Suil “hill of the eye” or “mount of
the extensive view,” stands guard in the
west; while the whole far horizon pierced
by hundreds of grim old peaks, wreathed
in endless bands and wings of mist, seems
like some vast archipelago of massive
craigs endlessly beaten by the ghostly
spume of thundering seas. If the mere
outlining os this enchanted spot so inad
equately fails all power of the descrip
tion, what inspired pen or brush could
fitly limn its ever-changing form
ings, scenes and hues? Glittering peak,
blanched cliff and threatening precipice
burst through the heather and sea-green
copse. Away among the heights the eagle
wheels above the gorges, or calls to the
echoing peaks for companionship in its
solitudes. Tumbling burns quiver and
flash, or show cascades like flecks of lace,
from within the shadows. And over all
song of rivulet, burn and river, over covert,
copse and glen, over islet, bog and tarn,
floods the September sunshine, painting
for your feasting in unfound dyes. Grand
Strathglass! Noblest of all Scotland’s
wondrous straths and valleys, because
grandest one fashioned by the infinite
Artificer, and as yet unsmirched by
the defiling touch of inns and guides and
gain.

“Hello! Tom. Glad to see you, old fellow!
It’s almost ten years since we were married. Sit
down: let's have an experience meeting. How’s
the wife f ”
“Oh 1 she’s so-so. same as usual,—always want
ing something I can’t afford.”
“ Well, we all want something more than we’ve
got. Don’t yon f ”
“ Yes: bnt I guess * want will be my master.’ I
started to keep down expenses; and now Lil says
I’m ‘mean,’and she’s tired of saving and never
having anything to show for it. I saw your wife
down street, and she looked as happy as a queen! ”
“ I think she is : and we are economical, too,—
have to be. My wife c:m make a little go further
than anyone I ever knew, yet she's always sur
prising me with some dainty contrivance that
adds to the comfort and beauty of our little home,
and she’s always ‘merry as a lark.’ When I ask
how she manages it. she always laughs and says:
‘Oh! that’s my secret!’ Bnt I think I've dis
covered her ‘ secret.’ When we married, we both
knuWwe should have to be very careful, but she
made one condition: she would have her Magazine.
And she was right! I wouldn't do without it my
self for double the subscription price We road
it together, from the title-page to the last word :
the stories keep our hearts yonng: the synopsis
of important events and scientific matters keeps
me posted so that I can talk undersrandingly of
what is going on : mv wife is always trying some
new idea from the ’household department: she
makes all her dresses anil those for the children,
and she gets all her patterns for nothing, with the
Magazine , and we saved Joe when he was so sick
with the croup, by doing jnst as directed in the
Sanitarian Departinert. But I can’t tell you half 1’’
“What wonderful Magazine is it 1”
“Demorest’s Family Magazine, and—’’
“What! Why that’s what Lil wanted so bad,
ami I told her it was an extravagance.”
“Well, my friend, that’s where yon made a
grand mistake, and one yon’d better rectify a*
soon as you can. I'll take' your ‘sub.’ right here,
on my wife’s account: she’s bound to have a chins
tea-set in time for onr tin wedding next month.
My gold watch was the premium I got for getting
up a club. Here's a copy, with the new Premium
List for cinbs.—the biggest thing out! If yon don't
see in it what you want, you’ve only to write to
the publisher and tell him what you want, whether
it is a tack hammer or a new carriage, and he w ill
make special terms for you, either for a club, or for
part ca«h. Better subscribe right off and surprise
Mrs. Tom. Only $2.00 a year—will save fifty times
that in six months. Or send 10 cents direct to the
publisher, W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th
Street, New York, for a specimen copy containing
the Premium List. ”
