Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hands of Compulsion Between the fertile shores of Ayrshire and the rugged peninsula of Kintyre lies the beautiful island of Arran; famous for the grandeur and loveliness of its natural scenery, but far more famous for the many romantic ties which link it to the world, and to the church universal. For here the mighty Fingal kindled his signal fires when the fleet of Agricola darkened the waters of the Clyde. Here Ossian - the King of many songs - came to wait for that dark and narrow house, whose mark is one grey stone. Here settled the great, silent, fighting Norsemen, who hated lies, and whose religion it was to be brave. Here Robert Bruce lit the beacon that was the dawn of Bannockburn. Here the Stuarts hunted the red deer, and Cromwell hunted the adherents of the Stuarts. It was also in this fair, rugged land that religion pure and undefiled took the deepest root; for what John Knox planted there, the Covenanters and the Free Kirk perfected.
