- summary: Rob Roy, he said, though a kittle neighbour to the Low Country, and particularly obnoxious to his Grace, and though he maybe carried the catheran trade farther than ony man o' his day, was an auld-farrand carle, and there might be some means of making him hear reason; whereas his wife and sons were reckless fiends, without either fear or mercy about them, and, at the head of a' his limmer loons, would be a worse plague to the country than ever he had been. Rob can levy five hundred men, sir, and therefore war suld concern him as muckle as maist folk, replied the Bailie; for it is a faculty that is far less profitable in time o' peace.
