Rh And then the mouldered ditch and ramp

Which marked an ancient Roman camp.

Then past Lubnaig on we went,

Gazed on Ben Ledi's steep ascent,

And passed by lovely stream and valley

Through Dochart Glen to reach Dalmally,

Where on a rough and winding track

We wished ourselves in safety back;

Till on our left we gladly saw

The spreading waters of Loch Awe,

And still more gladly—truth to tell—

A very up-to-date hotel,

With Conan's church within its ground,

Which gave it quite a homely sound.

Thither we came upon the Sunday,

Viewed Kilchurn Castle on the Monday,

And Tuesday saw us sally forth

Bound for Oban and the North.
