stone at a bad place when the river was in high 

 flood. 



Mamore marches with the forests of Corrour, 

 Inverlochy and Black Corries, but unless the fence put 

 up by Mr. Thistlethwaite has been partially removed, 

 these adjacent forests can be of no use to Mamore 

 as far as interchange of blood goes. The present 

 tenant is limited to seventy stags, the bulk of which 

 are got by stalking by two rifles, and give a mean 

 weight of 15 stone 6 lbs. clean, while in good seasons 

 the average runs as high as 16 stone. 



In connection with the owner of Mamore and 

 Meoble forests I must not omit to mention that 

 Mrs. Campbell has been spirited enough to have 

 translated into Gaelic for distribution amongst the 

 Highlanders a pamphlet on the deer forests, most 

 ably and impartially written by Mr. Malcolm, the 

 well-known and popular manager of Mrs. Ellice's 

 estates of Glengarry and Glenquoich, and to him my 

 best thanks are due for the greater part of my informa- 

 tion concerning these two last-mentioned forests.
