William Gilpin, who is so admirable in all that relates to landscapes, and usually so correct, standing at the head of Loch Fyne, in Scotland, which he describes as "a bay of salt water, sixty or seventy fathoms deep,four miles in breadth," and about fifty miles long, surrounded by mountains, observes, If we could have seen it immediately after the diluvian crash, or whatever convulsion of nature occasioned it,before the waters gushed in, what a horrid chasm must it have appeared!

威廉。吉尔平在描写风景时真是出色，而且总是很准确的，站在苏格兰的费因湖湾的尖端上，他描写道，"这一湾盐水，六七十英寻深，四英里阔，"约五十英里长，四面全是高山，他还加以评论："如果我们能在洪水泛滥，或者无论大自然的什么痉挛造成它的时候，在那水流奔湍人内以前，这一定是何等可怕的缺口啊！"

One of Mr Ball's heroes is Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, a Scottish biologist and polymath, who in 1917 wrote "On Growth and Form".
