I do like the instance of nice Hanoverians that we get in this section, I must admit. The soldiers are kind (I wonder what happened to them?) and so are the farmers; and also the officer in charge of burning Ardroy. It’s humanising to see them so; they’re just people.

It hadn’t occurred to me that Ewen is taking the same route as Keith did here, though the return to Spean Bridge is an obvious and nicely circular arc. It was on TV here the other night - Portillo, perhaps - and though I’ve been to the town, I didn’t make it to the bridge. They are not kidding when they call it High Bridge.

I hope that Ewen sends help to the women who helped him, and what was he doing looking down the girl’s blouse anyway, good grief, Ewen! She was damn clever about getting it to him, though.
