Off the Chain
Notes and Essays from the West Highlands By “Gowrie” (W. A. Smith)
(1868)
The following notes were written out at the time of my visit, and
express the exact feelings with which the various districts mentioned
impressed me; they ought thus to be more trustworthy than if viewed
through a veil of memory, however slight. Dealing with scenes and
subjects somewhat out of the usual track, I hope to have drawn some
little information and amusement therefrom, for the benefit of kindred
lovers of nature, and at any rate to have succeeded in securing for
these parts some of that superabundant attention at present lavished
upon the remainder of the “Land of brown heath and shaggy wood.”

Charters of the Abbey of Crosraguel
By F. C. Hunter Blair in two volumes (1886)
Constant instances occur in these papers of
the care which they devoted to farming, to the working of the coal-heughes,
to the cultivation of woods, orchards, gardens; to the development of
the fine arts, such as music and architecture; to philosophy, science,
theology, and other literary pursuits. Without doubt they did much to
keep alive in the hearts of the country people a knowledge of right and
wrong in very stormy times.
