Yes the cromach is a walking stick, not necessarily as elegant as yours. 
A far croonin is pullin me awa
As take I wi ma Cromach tae the road
The far Cuillins are puttin love on me
As step I wi the sunlight for my load
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Loachaber I will go
Over tangled steps wi heaven in their wiles
If it's thinking in yer inner hairt there's braggart in my step
Ye've never smelt the tangle o' the Isles...
Is it shorter as a result of the tapping contacts with the ground over that period of time?
