CHAPTEE XL 



EXTENSION IN CLACKMANNANSHIRE. 



Although marching with a district — Tulliallan, Brucefield, 

 and West Grange, in the south of Perthshire — thickly popu- 

 lated by Capercaillies, Clackmannan cannot claim any appre- 

 ciable share of them. There are few large woods suitable, 

 although it is almost surrounded by them. Thus only 

 occasional birds are seen, and these rarely. Two female 

 birds were shot at Mixed Park about 1875. It has not 

 occurred upon Kennet, the plantations not being large 

 enough. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, however, took an active 

 part in introducing them to Tulliallan. 



Mr. Eobert Gray, in " Ornithological Notes " in the ' Proc. 

 Berivick Nat. Cluh' 1877, p. 354, mentions them as found in 

 the woods of this county " in considerable numbers," but this 

 can refer only to the Earl of Zetland's woods.
