This Narrative is supposed to be addressed by an aged Highlander to his Grandson shortly before the battle of Killiecrankie.

Come hither, Evan Cameron,—

Come stand beside my knee;

Towards the wintry sea.

There's shouting on the mountain side;

There's war within the blast;

Old faces look upon me,

Old forms go riding past.

I hear the pibrock wailing
