CHAPTER XV. 



EXTENSION IN ROSS, ELGIN, AND COUNTIES OF 

 THE MOEAY FIRTH. 



There is a vague idea that they existed about 100 years 

 ago in Pioss-shire, but I can obtain no satisfactory statistics. 



I am not aware that any attempts at introduction have 

 been made in Eoss-sliire, but Captain Dunbar Brander, of 

 Pitgaveny, has informed the Eev. George Gordon that Lord 

 Fyfte had obtained eggs of the Capercaillie for Lochnabo — a 

 wood between Elgin and Fochabers — this last summer (1878), 

 but tlic rcsuUs li(j luid not learned.
