324 THE DEER FORESTS OF SCOTLAND. 



to forty stags each season, and in favourable ones they 

 will make the heavy average of nearly 16 stone clean. 

 Uppat Forest, which is attached to the Duke's beauti- 

 fully-situated house by the sea at Dunrobin, although 

 covering some 12,000 acres, may almost be regarded 

 as a vast deer park lying at the back of the castle. 

 The Duke very kindly promised me particulars of 

 each of these deer grounds, but owing to the illness 

 of his friend and factor, the well-known and much- 

 liked Mr. Mclver of Scourie, I have been unable 

 to get details in time for publication. 



THE END.
