Recollections of Alexander Duff
Publisher Description
In the highlands of Perthshire, in the parish of Moulin, not far from the confluence of the Tummel and the Garry, is situated the Pass of Killiecrankie, rendered memorable by the defeat which the troops of William III. Sustained, on the 17th of July 1689, at the hands of Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, who commanded the partizans of James II., but who fell in the moment of victory. At a short distance from this pass, lies the little village of Pitlochrie. About a mile from this village stood the old farm-house of Auchnahyle. It was in this old farm-house that Alexander Duff was born, on the 25th of April 1806.
