AMONG THE BORDER STREAMS 193 



Perhaps the largest resident bird of prey is the 

 raven. 



I never saw, nor heard of the 



osprey fishing the Tweed, as 



it does the Tay; 



but it has been 



known> al 



rare intervals, 

 to fish Loch Skene, 

 and may well pay 

 many an unrecorded 



visit to that lonely, and seldom disturbed place.
