I was also indebted to my independance in point of linen, blanket, quilt and pillows; perhaps the cart ought not to be forgotten; its exercise certainly had no small share in making me sleep soundly. The next day I retraced my steps to Tyndrum, to pick up my trunk; and as Allen was of opinion we could reach Dalmally that day, I stayed at Tyndrum as short a time as possible, and entered Glen Lochy. Tyndrum is in Perthshire, but on the very border of Argyleshire.
