Abstract:
"A very clumsy post-chaise descends a mountain road across a bare moor. On approaching a hair-pin bend the fore-heels have broken off, the chaise is about to upset, the occupant falls through the front window. A Highlander lies prone on the roof, saying to the unfortunate traveller: '" - Hald your Haund Mun, hold your haund! - en troth mun! e'n gin you na mind \ "yoursel, youl just make the Muckle Laird coupeing his Creels! - ' The chaise was drawn by a horse and ass; on the latter, which kicks violently, sits a primitive postilion; the traces are of rope. A shepherd (the muckle laird) reclines in the elbow of the road in the foreground; his dog barks at the chaise, which is followed by a man on a donkey. Horned sheep with tattered fleeces and bare rumps are beside the shepherd (r.). All four Scots are bare-footed, and have bare posteriors, the kilt being a mere apron."--British Museum online catalogue.
