It was among a handful of
simple and primitive fisher-folk, in the
village of Cove, near
Aberdeen, that Father Humphrey began his professional career. The Cove is a fishing village, situated in a nook of the rock-bound coast of
Kincardineshire, four miles south of Aberdeen. It stands, our author tells as, '
on the verge of that long, bleak, and barren moor of Drumthwacket,' which
Sir Walter Scott has made familiar to novel-readers as the
'fair patrimony' of
Captain Dugald Dalgetty, who is the source of so much genial merriment in the
'Legend of Montrose'
