ISLES OF LEWIS AND HARRIS. 387 



The isles of Lewis and Harris contain a large number 

 of deer; and in the former Sir Frederick Johnstone, 

 Bart., who rents the game, has, together with his friends, 

 done great execution ; but these deer, I am told, are in- 

 ferior in size, existing, as they do, in an ungenial and 

 unproductive country, though the climate is fitter perhaps 

 for raising their food than that of man.
