Note 185 — V ALPINE WINTERS AND HIGHLAND SUMMERS, AUGUST 1880–OCTOBER 1882

‘The whole front of the house was lighted, and there were pipes and fiddles, and as much dancing and deray within as used to be in Sir Robert’s house at Pace and Yule, and such high seasons.’—See ‘Wandering Willie’s Tale’ in Redgauntlet, borrowed perhaps from Christ’s Kirk of the Green.
