Waverley Volume 2 Chapter XLVI - The Eve of Battle

from The Walter Scott Library · host Sir Walter Scott

In which the Highlanders and the English forces, each disciplined in their own manner, array themselves upon the heights overlooking a broad plain, engaged in a tense and expectant pause upon the eve of battle, while commanders observe and orchestrate from their stations. Amidst these preparations, the faithful find moments of solemn prayer, and a haunting song in Gaelic soothes the warriors into a restless slumber beneath the night sky.
