It halted in the point in the road opposite Kilbride, and there the lamentation became longer and loud… Every one was in tears;… and it seemed like they could not rip themselves away. When they trigger once more, a cry of grief went as many as heaven; the long plaintive wail, being a funeral coronach, was started again; and, after the last in the emigrants had disappeared in back of the hill, the sound seemed to re-echo through the entire wide valley of Strath in one
