Our
companion
from
the
Trossachs,
who
it
appeared
was
an
Edinburgh
drawing-master
going
during
the
vacation
on
a
pedestrian
tour
to
John
o'
Groat's
House,
was
to
sleep
in
the
barn
with
William
and
Coleridge,
where
the
man
said
he
had
plenty
of
dry
hay.
I
do
not
believe
that
the
hay
of
the
Highlands
is
often
very
dry,
but
this
year
it
had
a
better
chance
than
usual:
wet
or
dry,
however,
the
next
morning
they
said
they
had
slept
comfortably.
When
I
went
to
bed,
the
mistress,
desiring
me
to
"go
ben,"
attended
me
with
a
candle,
and
assured
me
that
the
bed
was
dry,
though
not
"sic
as
I
had
been
used
to."
It
was
of
chaff;
there
were
two
others
in
the
room,
a
cupboard
and
two
chests,
on
one
of
which
stood
the
milk
in
wooden
vessels
covered
over;
I
should
have
thought
that
milk
so
kept
could
not
have
been
sweet,
but
the
cheese
and
butter
were
good.
The
walls
of
the
whole
house
were
of
stone
unplastered.
It
consisted
of
three
apartments,--the
cow-house
at
one
end,
the
kitchen
or
house
in
the
middle,
and
the
spence
at
the
other
end.
The
rooms
were
divided,
not
up
to
the
rigging,
but
only
to
the
beginning
of
the
roof,
so
that
there
was
a
free
passage
for
light
and
smoke
from
one
end
of
the
house
to
the
other.
