Page 108:- "... Ulpha Kirk is a mere hamlet; but there is a little inn at which the horses can rest if the party are disposed for a walk to the scene of Robert Walker's life and labours. Ulpha Kirk itself is one of the primitive places where the old manners of the district may yet be traced more clearly than in most road-side settlements. The people still think it no sin to do their farm work on Sundays, when the weather,- so precarious here,- is favourable; and the familiar style of "the priest" in these parts makes the transition from work to worship very natural. ..."
