The part of the forest which is kept for deer-stalking, it 

 will be remarked, is 51,708 imperial acres, and is bounded 

 chiefly on the west by Craig Urrard and the river Bruar ; 

 on the north by the Tarff; on the east by the Felaar 

 grouse ground ; and on the south by the cultivated grounds 

 and woods of Blair. Deer, however, are occasionally to 

 be found beyond these limits particularly hinds: in a 

 north wind, indeed, an inexpert or rash deer-stalker would 

 send vast numbers out of this ground, and if they were 

 still pursued and followed with pertinacity, they might be 

 driven into other forests and remain there some time. 



* The names of the various hill tops are given in the Appendix.
