Summary:

Professor Needler presents here the evidence that the poem, more appropriately called "The Lone Shieling," forms a beautiful tie of sentiment between Upper Canada and the Scottish Highlands, as it was Galt's work for the Canada Company that gave Moir the direct inspiration for the writing of it.
