SCOTTISH HERONRIES AND A CENSUS OF HERONS 73 



SECOND SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF HERONRIES. 

 (* = Extinct.) 



MORAY. 



Castle Stuart, Inverness, scattered nests in the woods. 



*Darnaway, should have been marked as extinct. Abandoned 



about 1873. 

 Munlochy, Black Isle, but no information as to numbers. 



DEE. 



*Crathes, about 1902, not more than one nest. Mr. A. M'Donald, 



Durris. 



For list of other places, see Mr. A. Landsborough 



Thomson's article cited above ; but note that 

 Leithhall, Kennethmont, should < not be included under " Dee." 



It is in " Moray," and is correctly entered in my first list 



("Annals," 1908, p. 220). 

 Netherdale (River Deveron). To prevent any confusion it might 



have been well had Mr. Harvie-Brown added to his remarks 



that this is in " Moray," not " Dee." It is named in my 



first list (loc. tit.}. 



TAY. 



*(?) Ardoch (on the Knaick), several nests ; may be there yet, but 

 my informant has not seen the place for about forty years. 

 Dr. Geo. Hunter. 



FORTH. 



Saltoun Wood, 6 or 7 pairs ; 2 or 3 pairs came from Tyninghame 

 12 or 15 years ago and then nested at the waterside (Tyne) ; 

 later on they moved up to their present position. Mr. John 

 Laidlaw. 



TWEED. 



Carolside (on the Leader), a large Heronry. " Hist. Ber. Nat. 

 Club," vol. xx. p. 319 (1910). 



Dawyck, ought not to be marked * as extinct ; 12 or 15 nests 

 are tenanted in the breeding season. It is gratifying to know 

 of the continued existence of this old and historical Heronry. 

 "Dawik" or " Dawikkis " supplied " quyk herounis " to the 

 King so far back as 1497, according to the "Accounts of the 

 Lord Hi;h Treasurer." For the above and other information 



o 



my thanks are due to Mr. W. Balfour Gourlay. 



ARGYLL AND THE INNER HEBRIDES. 



Ardgour House, small, in 1887-8, "and may be used still."- -W. I. 

 Beaumont ("Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist.," 1910, p. 183).
