The Three Sisters

Glencoe

The text on this postcard quotes from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal of  1803, about a century before this card was published.

" 'The Three Sisters', Glencoe:

The impression was as if the glen were nothing:  its loneliness and retirement.  The mountains were all in all.

Exceedingly lofty, rugged in surface, the whole mountain a mass of stone, wrinkled and puckered up together.  No trees in the glen - only pasturage for the cattle;  but the mountains."
