More Books of the Week
(Continued from page 909.) Some Tours in Scotland (issued by the Scottish Automobile and General Insurance Co., Ltd.) is a helpful guide to the motorist who wishes to survey some of the Scottish country- side. Glasgow as headquarters permits you to visit Gare- lochhead, historic Dumbarton, fair Loch Lomond, and, with a certain amount of caution, Arrochar. Or you may seek the lilied islands of Menteith, or try the Covenanting country, or the wild sweep of Galloway moorland. Should Edinburgh be your fixed point, you invade the Pentland slopes, or Linlithgow with its fragment of lovely palace, sad Craigmillar, or still St. Mary's Loch, or the well-sung Vales of Ettrick or Yarrow, or unjustly derided Peebles. From Dumfries you may discover Sweetheart Abbey, or high Caerlaverock Castle ; from Stirling, refuge and prison • of kings, drive to Dollar (Dolour), Drummond Castle of the beautiful gardens, Crieff, the wild braes of Balquhidder, trembling Conarie. Perth opens a region of glens and waters. Dundee is the centre for places so unlike as tragic Glamis and quiet Kirriemuir. Aberdeen will be startled to learn that "it is not the uncivilized hamlet of the uneducated Englishman's imagination." (Is even the uneducated Sassen- ach as daft as that ?) With strange disparagement our guide. turns from the delicate Dee, with all the beautiful Jacobite country of her upper reaches, to explore dark Donside, which is noble only in patches. Inverness and Nairn permit you to go as far north as the Moray Firth. We wonder why Oban is omitted as a centre. Probably the roads are bad. There is there one way that winds between a violet sealoch and a deep forest set with quiet companies of white foxgloves which should be lonely for ever. The useful little volume does really tell you how to find your way, however, and the style is restrained, so that reaching the last page you may say : "The half has not been told me."
