Twenty Six Years Reminiscences Of Scotch Grouse Moors PDF Download

Excerpt from Twenty-Six Years Reminiscences of Scotch Grouse Moors Railways ended at Inverness, and to get there needed a journey to Aberdeen, and from there by the slowest of slow railways, but quick enough - life was not run at so fast a pace as now. The more remote districts of the north and west of Scotland were as unknown as the wilds Of Labrador. Previous to that time grouse shooting was for the few; we were content with our English shootings, and very nice and pleasant they were. Every farmer, if the shooting was in his take, pre served his game; he shot it or he let it. The stubbles were long and full of weeds, the Old pastures full Of feg, and there was plenty of clover, but turnips not so much grown as now, excepting in the eastern counties, about which I know very little, the hedges and ditches not kept clean as they are now.
