Robin
Oig
,
"
he
said
,
when
it
was
done
,
"
ye
are
a
great
piper
.
I
am
not
fit
to
blow
in
the
same
kingdom
with
ye
.
Body
of
me
!
ye
have
mair
music
in
your
sporran
than
I
have
in
my
head
!
And
though
it
still
sticks
in
my
mind
that
I
could
maybe
show
ye
another
of
it
with
the
cold
steel
,
I
warn
ye
beforehand
--
it
'll
no
be
fair
!
It
would
go
against
my
heart
to
haggle
a
man
that
can
blow
the
pipes
as
you
can
!
"
Thereupon
that
quarrel
was
made
up
;
all
night
long
the
brose
was
going
and
the
pipes
changing
hands
;
and
the
day
had
come
pretty
bright
,
and
the
three
men
were
none
the
better
for
what
they
had
been
taking
,
before
Robin
as
much
as
thought
upon
the
road
.
The
month
,
as
I
have
said
,
was
not
yet
out
,
but
it
was
already
far
through
August
,
and
beautiful
warm
weather
,
with
every
sign
of
an
early
and
great
harvest
,
when
I
was
pronounced
able
for
my
journey
.
Our
money
was
now
run
to
so
low
an
ebb
that
we
must
think
first
of
all
on
speed
;
for
if
we
came
not
soon
to
Mr.
Rankeillor
's
,
or
if
when
we
came
there
he
should
fail
to
help
me
,
we
must
surely
starve
.
In
Alan
's
view
,
besides
,
the
hunt
must
have
now
greatly
slackened
;
and
the
line
of
the
Forth
and
even
Stirling
Bridge
,
which
is
the
main
pass
over
that
river
,
would
be
watched
with
little
interest
.

"
It
's
a
chief
principle
in
military
affairs
,
"
said
he
,
"
to
go
where
ye
are
least
expected
.
Forth
is
our
trouble
;
ye
ken
the
saying
,
'
Forth
bridles
the
wild
Hielandman
.
'
Well
,
if
we
seek
to
creep
round
about
the
head
of
that
river
and
come
down
by
Kippen
or
Balfron
,
it
's
just
precisely
there
that
they
'll
be
looking
to
lay
hands
on
us
.
But
if
we
stave
on
straight
to
the
auld
Brig
of
Stirling
,
I
'll
lay
my
sword
they
let
us
pass
unchallenged
.
"
The
first
night
,
accordingly
,
we
pushed
to
the
house
of
a
Maclaren
in
Strathire
,
a
friend
of
Duncan
's
,
where
we
slept
the
twenty-first
of
the
month
,
and
whence
we
set
forth
again
about
the
fall
of
night
to
make
another
easy
stage
.
The
twenty-second
we
lay
in
a
heather
bush
on
the
hillside
in
Uam
Var
,
within
view
of
a
herd
of
deer
,
the
happiest
ten
hours
of
sleep
in
a
fine
,
breathing
sunshine
and
on
bone-dry
ground
,
that
I
have
ever
tasted
.
That
night
we
struck
Allan
Water
,
and
followed
it
down
;
and
coming
to
the
edge
of
the
hills
saw
the
whole
Carse
of
Stirling
underfoot
,
as
flat
as
a
pancake
,
with
the
town
and
castle
on
a
hill
in
the
midst
of
it
,
and
the
moon
shining
on
the
Links
of
Forth
.
"
Now
,
"
said
Alan
,
"
I
kenna
if
ye
care
,
but
ye
're
in
your
own
land
again
.
We
passed
the
Hieland
Line
in
the
first
hour
;
and
now
if
we
could
but
pass
yon
crooked
water
,
we
might
cast
our
bonnets
in
the
air
.

In
Allan
Water
,
near
by
where
it
falls
into
the
Forth
,
we
found
a
little
sandy
islet
,
overgrown
with
burdock
,
butterbur
and
the
like
low
plants
,
that
would
just
cover
us
if
we
lay
flat
.
Here
it
was
we
made
our
camp
,
within
plain
view
of
Stirling
Castle
,
whence
we
could
hear
the
drums
beat
as
some
part
of
the
garrison
paraded
.
Shearers
worked
all
day
in
a
field
on
one
side
of
the
river
,
and
we
could
hear
the
stones
going
on
the
hooks
and
the
voices
and
even
the
words
of
the
men
talking
.
It
behoved
to
lie
close
and
keep
silent
.
But
the
sand
of
the
little
isle
was
sun-warm
,
the
green
plants
gave
us
shelter
for
our
heads
,
we
had
food
and
drink
in
plenty
;
and
to
crown
all
,
we
were
within
sight
of
safety
.
As
soon
as
the
shearers
quit
their
work
and
the
dusk
began
to
fall
,
we
waded
ashore
and
struck
for
the
Bridge
of
Stirling
,
keeping
to
the
fields
and
under
the
field
fences
.
The
bridge
is
close
under
the
castle
hill
,
an
old
,
high
,
narrow
bridge
with
pinnacles
along
the
parapet
;
and
you
may
conceive
with
how
much
interest
I
looked
upon
it
,
not
only
as
a
place
famous
in
history
,
but
as
the
very
doors
of
salvation
to
Alan
and
myself
.
The
moon
was
not
yet
up
when
we
came
there
;
a
few
lights
shone
along
the
front
of
the
fortress
,
and
lower
down
a
few
lighted
windows
in
the
town
;
but
it
was
all
mighty
still
,
and
there
seemed
to
be
no
guard
upon
the
passage
.
