200 THE DEER FORESTS OF SCOTLAND. 



Barry also had the luck to lay low the heaviest stag 

 got in this forest for very many years, which scaled 

 20 stone 10 lbs. 



The house of Struy — Gaelic, Strui, Streams — is 

 built near the junction of the Farrar with the Glass, 

 and close to it is the ford of Ath-nan-ceann, "the 

 ford of the heads," which derives its name from a 

 fight which took place there about two hundred years 

 ago, when some of the clan Fraser being detected 

 by a number of the Chisholms in a cattle-raiding 

 expedition, the opposing parties actually met in the 

 water, when in a fierce contest the Chisholms were 

 victorious, although next day so many heads of both 

 victors and vanquished were found in the ford that 

 hence its name.
