Excerpt from Walks and Scrambles in the Highlands

Ben cruachan was the first Scottish mountain that I ascended, and I always feel a peculiar affec tion for it on that account. Indeed, it was not only the first Scottish mountain, but the first mountain of any nationality, with the single excep tion of Snowdon. And I had previously never felt much interest in mountains, nor had I greatly desired to climb them. I had been personally conducted up Snowdon some years earlier on a very bad day, and had then come to the conclusion that the game was not worth the candle, and just how or why I became one of the elect I know not. I think the charms of Ben Cruachan clinched the matter, and effected my final conversion.
