The Scottish Good-Bye

"ON SUNDAY MORNING we had come round the north of Scotland, passing between the Orkneys and John o’ Groats (which someone enthusiastically hailed as John of Gaunt). On Sunday afternoon we had come through the Outer and the Inner Hebrides, and on Monday morning we woke up to find ourselves steaming up the Firth of Lorne.

"…. At Oban our Scottish contingent parted from us: as they went down the gangway we sang to them, "Will ye no come back again?" But they wouldn’t, and when last we saw them they were dancing a reel with great gusto in the tender."

Rose Kerr, The Cruise of the "Calgaric" August 12th-29th, 1933, London: The Girl Guides Association.
