The cattle reivers would certainly, he said, take the easiest road, and slowly find a track by the Loch Dee and Loch Trool, past Bonghill, and up the narrow defile of the Gairland Burn, into that tangle of lochs and mountains under the grow of Merrick, which formed their robbers’ fastness. There would be better grazing by the loch shores than anywhere else, though indeed the Faas never wanted for fodder so long as there were hay crops on the Cree water or corn in the Glenkens. It was easy work taking down a bevy of horses and bringing up a supply – easier than cutting and winning the meadow hay upon their own sparse watersides.

It was therefore necessary for me to cross and take to the hills on the eastern side of the Dungeon, then make for the Wolf ’s Slock as fast as I could, and trust to Providence after that. At least, so said Sammle Tamson, evidently thinking that Providence would be no great improvement upon himself as a guide among the hills of the Dungeon.
