SCOTS Project - www.scottishcorpus.ac.uk Document : 1478 Title : West Highland Campaign Author(s): Rowena M Love Copyright holder(s): Rowena M Love Text Saltire sky unfurls in the freshening wind. Rallying to the cry, are tourists, already armed by Baedecker and Michelin. Serried hills stand to attention, ready to brave the onslaught; confident of victory, Torridon disdains drab battledress, strutting instead in its pink and green heavily braided with waterfalls. Camouflaged eucalyptus defend Inverewe; handkerchief trees wave timid surrender while rhododendrons hurl defiance in pennons of scarlet. This work is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
