'Tub Highland News" Printing ihfiRARY ACCESSION PREFATORY NOTE. rnSE following pages are reprinted from ^l^ "The Highland Home Journal," the -L weekly supplement of "The Highland News," where they appeared for the first time. The sweet voices associated in my memory with so many of them, I know, I shall hear no more, and yet they abide with me in spirit. If for a little time they may enable any one else to share in a portion of the joy given me, my aim will have been amply fulfilled. My original intention was to restrict myself entirely—as I have to a good extent done—to unpublished sources, and to have included some Gaelic romances. When I had proceeded but a part of the way I had mapped out, inner considerations led me to offer some transliterations from the Fernàig MS., actuated in part also by a suggestion given by the editors in their preface. To give the whole, space fails me; but what is here given includes an interesting portion, and, perhaps, what is in all respects of most permanent significance. It was not my aim to obliterate dialectal traits unnecessarily. The shroud of the traditional orthography would here have often marred the living form; but I liave no quarrel with the rigid traditional scrjpt in its place. May I ven- ture to hope therefore that, as it is, my reading of Macrae's often puzzling, incon- Bistent phonetic spelling, does no great in- justice to a noble voice, which is to me daily deepening a long-cherished fondness for Kintail.

  • Log of the Cruise of Cuillin Peri
    A DINOSAUR AND A DORMOUSE WENT TO SEA. The Cruise of Cuillin Peri Port Appin to Coll, via the Sound of Mull 14-19 August 2010 Adrian Pery and Kate Mellor Launch and recovery: View of Loch Linnhe from the private slipway at Ardtur, Port Appin. (56 33.90N 5 24.0W) Photo: Adrian Pery INTRODUCTION This log is written to record the cruise of Adrian Pery and Kate Mellor, aboard Wayfarer World ‘Cuillin Peri’, around the top of Mull in August 2010. It is written not so much as a ‘what we did’ but more on a basis of ‘this is how we planned it and how things worked out’. When we started planning this cruise it seemed a huge step. In fact it was not as hard as it seemed. We had some advantages in that Adrian knew the area and Kate is a seasoned Wayfarer sailor and cruiser. However this was our first long cruise and we learnt a great deal from it. It is to that end that we have written this log as we have – to help other Wayfarer sailors preparing for their first long cruise. Thus we have gone into some detail about the kit we took and what we needed to prepare for such an undertaking; for this we make no apology. Much of this will be old hat to experienced cruisers and we would not be offended if they skipped those parts, but for those aspiring or new to the cruising scene we hope that this log is of help and that it gives you the confidence to go out and do it for yourself.
