396 GLENFESHIE. 



THE DUKE OF GORDON'S DEER FORESTS. 



In page 105. will be found an account of the former pos- 

 sessions of the Earls of Huntley ; but as some changes of 

 consequence have taken place in latter times, perhaps it 

 may be as well to note the more modern measurement and 

 divisions of this wild tract, precisely as I have received 

 them from another quarter: should there be any discre- 

 pancy between the two accounts, the changes above men- 

 tioned, and the difference between computed and actual 

 measure, will easily account for it. 



GLENFESHIE, 



in the parish of Kingussie and county of Inverness, is 

 bounded on the south and south-east by the forests of 

 Marr and Atholl, on the west by the forest of Gaick, arid 

 on the south by the estate of Invereshie.. By survey in 

 1770, it contained 13,706 Scots acres. It was let in 1752 

 to Mr. Macpherson of Invereshie, and continued to be 

 rented by that family until 1812, when it was purchased 

 from the Duke of Gordon by Mr. Macpherson of Invereshie 

 and Ballindalloch. It has been pastured by cattle and 

 sheep since 1752.
