Excerpt from Glencreggan, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, a Highland Home in Cantire IN the following pages I essay to guide my readers to new ground, even to the Land's End of Scotland, for such is the English meaning of the Gaelic word Cantire, Ceantire, the Land's End, which is the southern part of the county of Argyle, and is a peninsula only twelve miles removed from Ireland, washed by the Atlantic, and flanked by the Isles of Arran and the southern Hebrides. I venture to call Cantire new ground, for in truth it is somewhat of a tewa incognita, and is but rarely Visited, and has been but barely mentioned by the guide-books, some of which indeed do not bestow any description upon Cantire, evidently regarding it as a Western Highland district which no tourist would desire to explore.
