78 THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAND 



would have much chance, and in a few seconds saw the little 

 bird pop up like a guillemot and paddle its way to a tiny ledge, 

 up which it clambered with difficulty, but apparently with 

 unconcern. 



Below " The Pot " comes " The Long Cast," fished 

 principally from a short wooden platform on each bank, and 

 then the Garry runs in from the Pass of Killiecrankie, and the 

 Tummel turns to the right into the main south-easterly 

 direction for its run of 9 miles to the junction with the Tay. 



The river swings from side to side of the deep-wooded glen, 

 leaving beautiful banks of clean shingle at each turn. Faskally 

 House, which in Mr. Butter's time had a fine museum of African 

 and other big game trophies, stands in a wide park on the left, 

 at the foot of the prehistoric river bank now covered with tall 

 trees. 



Both Faskally and Bonskeid have had recent additions to 

 their extent of fishing, but of this later ; they share the water 

 between the falls to the junction, and then Faskally fishes 

 both banks to Cluny Bridge, a short distance above Pitlochry, 

 and 2 miles from the Garry junction, where the river becomes 

 more sluggish and deep between high rocky banks, and below 

 which the remaining pools of Faskally Water are let. There 

 are good pools below the junction, all fished from the bank 

 except the Boat Pool, just below the junction. The total 

 capture varies a good deal, but the best season of recent years 

 resulted in about 100 fish about 80 is said to be the 

 average. On several occasions 7 fish have been taken in 

 a day. The beauty of the scenery and the fine running char- 

 acter of the water must make Faskally a delightful fishing even 

 if the score be small. 



From Cluny Bridge, Fisher's Hotel, Pitlochry, has the right 

 of fishing for about a mile and a half, the right bank in part 

 being fished by Finab and Dunfallandy. This water is not 

 so good as Faskally, nor is it so interesting to fish, but fair 

 sport is sometimes had. 



The remainder of the Tummel goes with Easthaugh, one of 

 the Duke of AtholPs properties which is let on lease, and which 

 holds also the fishing rights on the Tay for some little distance 

 above the junction at Ballinluig. The Tummel section of this 

 fishing is about 5 miles in length, and has this advantage over
