To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
a bold and dedded outline — such strong lights — such deep broad shadows — and, on the east shore especially, such ** fragments of an earlier world,'' for a foreground, that one can scarcely imagine that any thing mnch more picturesque ever met the eye of the b^idit painter, even amid the fiistnesses of Calabria. Rob Roy's Cave, the hiding-place of the Mac- g^gor, is formed by detached portions of micaceous schistus, which have fallen from the rocks above, and have formed a cavity with several ...windings in it It is completely concealed, but presents no re- markable curiosity about it, being nothing more than a dreary cavern, in which very pressing neces- sity alone could induce a human being to take up his residence. It is celebrated as being the place of shelter of Robert Bruce, after his discomfiture at StrathfiUan by M^Dougall of Lorn. He is said to have used it also before the battle of Bannockbum, to avoid the English spies. It afterwards served as a retreat to Rob Roy, whose name it bears.
