“The Highlanders are Great Thieves”

“Great thieves go Scott-free, as the Pope and his crew.”

“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”

“My Heart's In The HighlandsFarewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North, The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. Chorus.-My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow, Farewell to the straths and green vallies below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. My heart's in the Highlands, &c.”

“The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.”

“Highlanders make the truest friends-if only because they make the worst enemies.”
