Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shooting and Salmon Fishing, and Highland Sport Following the example of the first volume of this series, in which my two books of Deer-stalking and 7716 Deer Forests of Scotland have been printed as one, it has seemed appro priate that a similar course might be pursued greatly to the advantage Of my readers if S/zooz'z'nbrr and Salmon Fzs/zz'ng and Sport were dealt with in a like manner, for whereas the first-named contains advice, hints and suggestions for the tyro with gun and rod, the latter work gives examples of their practical application, and therefore I venture to hope my readers may find profit and pleasure in the perusal of these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moor and the Loch: Containing Minute Instructions in All Highland Sports John Colquhoun, the author of The Moor and the Loch, ' was born at Edinburgh on 6th March 1 8 0 5. His father was Sir James Colquhoun, Bart. Of Luss, and chief of the Clan Colquhoun. His mother, Lady Colquhoun, was a re markable woman in the religious circles of her generation, and her example and teaching largely influenced her family. At a very early age John Colquhoun displayed that love Of nature and of sport which continued to characterise his life. The scenes of his boyhood were well calculated to foster his special tastes. As was natural, writes his eldest daughter, the Rossdhu boys loved the free Wild life in the beautiful scenery by which they were surrounded; and it was no small grief to them when, each season, they were torn from the shores of Loch Lomond to pursue their studies in Edinburgh. From his childhood, natural history was a passion with John. There was not a wild song-bird whose note was not familiar to him. Nor a creature Whose habits he did not discover. The child of nature, his knowledge was all gained from personal Observa tion, and not from the brains Of others; and it was this, per haps, as much as anything, which gave such a charm to the man and to his writings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ardenmohr Among the Hills: A Record of Scenery and Sports in the Highlands of Scotland Regarding the first - although many may be in different to field sports, still there are very few who do not appreciate the wild and varied beauties of Highland scenery, and even if caring little about the shooting of grouse or taking of salmon, most people do feel curious to learn wherein lies the charm of pursuits so eagerly sought and so expensively, procured. This I have tried to explain and describe simply and without exaggeration. To sportsmen these pages will recall much of their own pleasant experience, and perhaps excite curiosity and after-inquiry by the details of certain phenomena and events connected with the few.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sports and Adventures in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland: A Sequel to the Wild Sports of the West That night was memorable, Jack. Then you received an honourable patronymic; and a more ill-conditioned neophyte never kicked in the arms of a divine. Seldom had the ancient roof-tree covered a merrier group, and, in imagina tion, I see them now. My honoured aunt, in the ripe bloom that marks a matron's beauty, sat in her high-backed chair, listening reverently to the baptismal prayer; albeit the form belonged to another church, and from him by whom the holy rite was celebrated, she dissented conscientiously. But in those days a difference in religious faith did not matter a brass button. Popery was unobtrusive, -protestants were tolerant, -heaven was considered attainable by all -and, contrary to the more enlightened opinions of modern clerks, persons professing another creed were not, as a matter of course, consigned direct to Pandemonium. But to return to thy christening. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Moreover these were Allan's holidays; and during the working times of the year there was little enough diversion for him. So Jess at once and cheerfully put on her smartest things; Barbara did the same; the school master was summoned; and the councillor, having marshalled his forces, proceeded to escort them down to the sea-front. He was in the noblest of spirits it was as if he were leading them on to the conquest of Mexico or the capture of the last of the Incas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Punch in the Highlands Scotsmen - Highlanders and Lowlanders - have furnished Mr. Punch with many of his happiest jokes. Despite the curious tradition which the Cockney imbibes with his mother's milk as to the sterility of Scotland in humour, the Scots are not only the cause of humour in others but there are occasions when they prove themselves not entirely bereft of the faculty which, with his charming egoism, the Cockney supposes to be his own exclusive birthright. Indeed, we have it on the authority of Mr. Spielmann, the author of "The History of Punch," that "of the accepted jokes from unattached contributors (to Punch), it is a notable fact that at least 75 percent, comes from north of the Tweed." As a very considerable proportion of these Scottish jokes make fun of the national characteristics of the Scot, it is clear that Donald has the supreme gift of being able to laugh at himself.
