ANGLING HOLIDAYS IN SCOTLAND. 



T]ie land o' cakes is essentially the liappy limiting 

 «TOund of well-to-do Englishmen, and as there is a fashion 

 in holiday-making, as in everything else, it is considered 

 the correct thing to go to Scotland. And what grand fish- 

 ing is there to be got, if only your purse is long enough to 

 ■enable you to obtain it ! The new line of railway through 

 the Highlands has greatly cheapened the cost of travel to 

 many of the most beautiful angling resorts, and, what is 

 equally important to a good many men, is the enormous 

 saving of time thus effected. In the limited space left at 

 my disposal I can, in the present volume, do little more 

 than touch briefly upon a few of the angling holiday resorts 

 that are open to the wandering fisherman. Taking these 

 fishing stations in the order in which they will be met with 

 in a railway journey through the Highlands, our first halt- 

 ing place is Tarbet. Here we strike Lough Lomond.
