Trosachs Hotel.

[The name Trosachs signifies in Gaelic the _rough_ or _bristled

territory_; a signification perfectly applicable to the confused mass of

abrupt crags which, in some convulsion of nature, has been separated from

the neighbouring mountains of Ben Vennu and Ben An. This glen was first

rendered an object of popular attention by Sir Walter Scott, in his poem

of _The Lady of the Lake_.]

_Quarter._--Whence comes the use of the word _Quarter_, as applied to

sparing of life in battle?
