I went to Glen Finglas and didn’t even get my arm ripped off by a mysterious huntress clad in green, 1/5 stars for false advertising

Long have I sought sweet Mary's heart, And dropp'd the tear, and heav'd the sigh: But vain the lover's wily art, Beneath a sister's watchful eye.

Glenfinlas, Sir Walter Scott

In Glenfinlas

Effie Gray 4/10

1853: Ruskin, Effie & Millais share a cottage in Glenfinlas so that Millais can carry out Ruskin’s commission of a portrait of himself by the Glenfinlas waterfall. It was however not completed at the time and Ruskin met Millais later in London to complete the sitting, by which time Effie had left him.
