While they may not have occupied a very prominent or pronounced position, yet their exertions in subduing the wilderness, their activity in the Revolution, and the wide influence exercised by the descendants of these hardy pioneers, should, long since, have brought their history and achievements into notice. These settlements form a very important and interesting place in the early history of our country. In a measure the publication of certain state papers and colonial records, as well as an occasional memoir by an historical society have revived what had been overlooked. The student of American history has noticed allusions to certain Scotch Highland settlements prior to the Revolution, without any attempt at either an account or origin of the same.

The song and the dance they hae vanish'd thegither,įor the maids o' Glendarra shall come back no more.'Īn attempt is here made to present a field that has not been preoccupied. Is hushed in the sound of the ocean's wild roar Unfettered and free as the wave on the main īut the pibroch they played o'er the sweet blooming heather The deer o' the mountain may drink at the fountain, The cushat may coo in the green woods again. The gowan may spring by the clear-rinnin' burnie, She may come hame again wi' the yellow gowd laden,īut the sons of Glendarra shall come back no more. There's a ship on the sea, and her white sails she's spreadin',Ī' ready to speed to a far distant shore Of the tenantless hearth in the home of the Gael. There's weeping and wailing in yon Highland vale,Īnd fitfully flashes a gleam from the ashes 'There's sighing and sobbing in yon Highland forest President of The Highland Society of London,Īn hereditary Chief, honored by his Clansmen at home and abroad, on account of the kindly interest he takes in their welfare, as well as everything that relates to the Highlands, and though deprived of an ancient patrimony, his virtues and patriotism have done honor to the Gael, this Volume is John's Gospel, Jewish Nature Worship, etc.Ĭolonel Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean, Bart., C.B.,
