Description: | In Walter Scott's 'Lord of the Isles,' King Robert the Bruce crosses a low isthmus from the eastern to the western loch of Tabert in order to avoid the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the Mull.
"It was a wondrous sight to see
Topmast and pennon glitter free,
High-raised above the greenwood-tree!
As on dry land, the galley moves,
By cliffs, and copse and alder groves." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Provost & Company | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Water Transport Coastal Views Harbours | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Thompson, Stephen | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
