12 THE DEER FORESTS OF SCOTLAND. 



Chapter II. 

 ARGYLLSHIRE. 



FOREST OF ARDTORNISH BY MORVEN. 



Of this little forest no authentic information has 

 reached me of the numbers or weights of the stags 

 killed. Belonging to Mr. T. V. Smith, it is situated 

 on the Sound of Mull ; Loch Aline bounds it on the 

 west ; the waters of the Sound on the south, and Loch 

 Linnhe lies on the south-east, and thus these lands 

 form a peninsula, although not a very pronounced 

 one. On the north-east they march with the deer 

 ground of Kingairloch, and on the north-west with 

 the sheep-walks of Morven. Although the highest 

 hill does not exceed 1,600 ft., yet the beauties of 

 this property are great, the distant views afforded 

 by an island-dotted sea more than compensating
