The
ferry-house
stood
on
the
bank
a
few
yards
above
the
landing-place
where
the
boat
lies.
It
is
a
small
hut
under
a
steep
wood,
and
a
few
yards
to
the
right,
looking
towards
the
hut,
is
the
waterfall.
The
fall
is
not
very
high,
but
the
stream
is
considerable,
as
we
could
see
by
the
large
black
stones
that
were
lying
bare,
but
the
rains,
if
they
had
reached
this
place,
had
had
little
effect
upon
the
waterfall;
its
noise
was
not
so
great
as
to
form
a
contrast
with
the
stillness
of
the
bay
into
which
it
falls,
where
the
boat,
and
house,
and
waterfall
itself
seemed
all
sheltered
and
protected.
The
Highland
woman
was
to
go
with
us
the
two
first
miles
of
our
journey.
She
led
us
along
a
bye
foot-path
a
shorter
way
up
the
hill
from
the
ferry-house.
There
is
a
considerable
settling
in
the
hills
that
border
Loch
Lomond,
at
the
passage
by
which
we
were
to
cross
to
Loch
Ketterine;
Ben
Lomond,
terminating
near
the
ferry-house,
is
on
the
same
side
of
the
water
with
it,
and
about
three
miles
above
Tarbet.
