viii HILL BIRDS OF SCOTLAND 



The mists curliiig smoke-like in the deep glens before 

 the hour of sunrise, the distant hills, heavily snow-flecked, 

 standing sharply against the horizon, the croaking of the 

 Ptarmigan and the flute-like song of the Snow x3unting, 

 all these things are among the priceless memories given 

 by the Spirit of the Great Hills.
