The Scott Centenary: views at Abbotsford, 1871. Creator: Unknown
The Scott Centenary: views at Abbotsford, 1871. '...the reputed "Rhymer's Glen, " [was] where True Thomas of Ercildoun had an interview with the Faery Queen...he was a real personage, Thomas Learmont, a Scottish knight...of the thirteenth century...Kae Side has since been much altered; the original cottage, where Laidlaw wrote many a chapter from Scott's dictation, has been converted into a subordinate part of a larger house...The Scotts...turned aside from the river, which their enemies prevented them from crossing, and they ran away up the hill by Kae Side, the eastern part of what is now the Abbotsford demesne. They were hotly pursued by their foes, till they reached a spot now marked by a large stone, near the brow of the hill, where the Scotts began to "turn again"...They...ascended the hill to the Turn-again Stone, whence they passed on by Kae Side, near the old Roman road from the camp of Tremontium... Cauldshiels Loch...is a piece of water...in an elevated hollow of the hills behind Abbotsford...with regard to our Views of the Rhymer's Glen and of Turn Again, these scenes, respectively, are the backgrounds of two well-known portraits of Sir Walter Scott, the former painted by Sir Edwin Landseer, the latter by Sir Henry Raeburn'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871
