Ossian Collection > Folk tales and fairy lore in Gaelic and English

He was ever a helpful neighbour, a good friend, a stimulating
companion, and the pattern of a robust and healthy religious life.
Absorbed as he was in pursuits and studies off the main line of
ministerial activity, he never suffered them to interfere with the
claims of his profession. He was always the minister. His lot
was cast in a secluded glen, while his ability and talents would
have fitted him for much more important charges ; but he
cheerfully accepted the position, and faithfully did his day's
work. To those who knew and loved him, Duror will never be
the same since his vigorous and genial personality has passed for
ever from it."
