News at Eleven: Called A Highland Journal, it is the story

of a journey through the area around Cambusmore House, mentioning local places including Aberfeldy, the hills of Killin, Callander and Gleneagles.

Also a celebration of the landscape, which went on to inspire the author's epic poem The Lady of the Lake, the poem's opening verse runs: "From the cliffs of sweet Killin,/From the Paps of woody Lenny,/Blythe we travelled the Highland glen,/Mountains moors and slopes many."
