The Land of the Tally-Ho and Haggis Burns sang the praise of the haggis but another feature which might well have its praises sung is the Scotch tally-ho, a coach-and-four which awaits us after an interesting trip up Loch Katrine in the small steamer Sir Walter Scott . On Loch Katrine we saw Ellen ' s Isle and other places which Scott immortalized in his poem The Lady of the Lake . Now, as we drive along in this old-fashioned tally-ho drawn by four horses, we see beautiful scenes to store in the mind as those most typical of Scotland. As in olden times, the driver of the tally-ho wears a red coat and sits on a high front seat, while a coach-boy stands on the low step at the back. Travelling up hill and down dale in this beautiful Trossach district, we occa- sionally come across a Scotch piper. Sometimes these pipers have with them a small child who dances the Highland Fling, stopping abruptly at the first sign of money being thrown to him. As we pass along, we see the mountains or Bens and on the hillsides, shaggy mountain sheep grazing upon the sparse grass, while down some of these same hills trickles an occasional stream of water from the crags — these are found to end near the age-old peat-bogs from which the Highlanders still get their fuel. Arriving at Inversnaid, we pause to admire Ben Lomond looming up above Loch Lomond wrapt in a purple mist. A little later as our eyes rest for a moment on the road we have just travelled over, we see our tally-ho, which we have just dismissed, slowly wending its way back through the picturesque hills. Just as the traveller remembers the jaunting car of Ireland, he associates the tally-ho with Scotland. The Scots themselves seem to prefer the haggis as a favourite tradition, but I think that most of Scotland ' s visitors enjoy even more, memories of driving among the hills covered with bonny heather where history and legend are refreshed by the aid of the old tally-ho .
