Summary "Nether Lochaber" by Rev. Alexander Stewart is a collection of natural history observations, folklore, and literary reflections written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a multifaceted exploration of the landscapes, traditions, and cultural narratives of the West Highlands of Scotland, intertwining elements of personal experience with the region's rich historical tapestry. At the start of "Nether Lochaber," the author reflects on the uncharacteristically mild weather in early March, describing the wildflowers blooming ahead of the usual seasonal schedule. He contrasts the optimism surrounding this pleasantness with the warnings of older locals forecasting a harsh winter to come. Intertwined with his observations are poetic references, including verses from Robert Burns, and the narrative hints at the local folklore and traditions that shape and enrich the Scottish highland experience. The opening portion sets a tone of warmth and reverence for nature, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of both the physical and cultural landscapes that Stewart intends to cover in this reflective work.
