THE ROE. 347 



confined to some districts of Scotland, but particu- 

 larly to the Highlands. In the lower parts of the 

 parish of Appin, in Dumfriesshire, and particu- 

 larly on the estates of the Marquis of Tweedale, 

 and Mr. Campbell of Aird, Roes are found in 

 considerable abundance. Great numbers of these 

 beautiful animals have of late years also resorted 

 for security and good pasture to the extensive 

 woods of Moneymusk, in Aberdeenshire. For- 

 merly they visited the low country only at those 

 times., when, during the deep snows of winter, they 

 could find neither subsistence nor shelter in the fo- 

 rests of Glenavon and Glentannar, and they return- .. 

 ed to their residence in those bleak and desolate 

 regions, as soon as the first breaking up of the frost 

 would allow them. They, however, now take their 

 entire residence in the above parish; and it is sup- 

 posed that, in a short time, even all the inclosures 

 will be stocked by them, without either trouble or 

 expence to the proprietor of the lands.
