OF

THE CHARACTER, MANNERS,

AND

PRESENT STATE

OF THE

HIGHLANDERS OF SCOTLAND;

WITH DETAILS OF

THE MILITARY SERVICE

OF

THE HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.

BY

COLONEL DAVID STEWART.

'Tis wonderful

That an invisible instinct should frame them

To loyalty unlearned; honour untaught;
Civility not seen from others; valour

That wildly grows in them, but yields a crop
As if it had been sowed.
