This verse shows the depth and detail of the geographical and hydrological information possessed by Highlanders in the 18th century. Today few of these places would register on any cognitive map of the locality, except perhaps Ben More, whose profile dominates the whole length of this long Glen and Lochan nan Arm, whose story is mentioned in today’s tourist literature. Yet in the 18th century the burial grounds of clan leaders, farming settlements and fertile meadows would have had great significance to the natives of Glen Dochart, as would a dramatic event in the Wars of Independence. Both religious sites are associated with St. Fillan, who was active in Glen Dochart in the 8th century. Gold shrine covers of his holy crozier, dating from the 11th and 14th century, were kept by the Dewar family until the 19th century. St Fillan is associated with a healing and baptismal pool on the River Dochart not far from Lochan nan Arm (NN351287). All the farming settlements recorded would have been inhabited in the 18th century when the two soldiers had their toponymic exchange about Glen Dochart in faraway Canada.
