MEMOIR.
xviii
In personal appearance Rob Donn was brown¬
haired, brown-eyed, rather pale complexioned,
clear-skinned, and, one would say, good-looking.
When he entered a room, his eye caught the whole
at a glance ; and the expression of his countenance
always indicated much animation and energy. In
figure he was rather below middle size, stout and
well formed according to his size.
It is gratifying to add to our imperfect Memoir
of the Bard and his works, that, to the honour of
his countrymen of the present generation, a sub¬
scription having been raised among them for the
purpose, a monument to his memory is now erected
in the parish burying-ground of Durness, over his
grave.
