Of such tuneful transatlantic Scotians one need not inquire too curiously whether "Annie Laurie" or "Robin Adair" would find them- selves at home in kilts ; but they ought to know what a blot on their fame is the tartan of the Gordons, my hereditary enemies, whose flagrant stripes brand them as no better, in their beginning, than Lowland evictors. One thinks twice about pursuing an ancestral feud against foemen seven feet high ; but I must say that if these minstrels were real Gordons, they mig...ht well chant masses for the souls of many a Celt who never had the chance to sing : From the lone shieling on the misty island, Mountains divide us and a waste of seas ; But still our hearts are true, our hearts are Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides. 170 CHAPTER VIII THE OUTER HEBRIDES Skye is now the " show island " of the west coast, easily invaded by its ferries, at one being only a musket- shot's distance from the mainland. But comparatively few tourists trust themselves across the stormy Minches, Great and Little, to visit the Long Island, more foreign to thriving Scotland than Jersey to England.
