is occupied as a sheep-walk and grouse shooting range.

 of Cluny, and has recently been let to the Marquis of

GLENMORE, 



in the parish of Kincardine and county of Inverness, 

 containing 10,173 acres, was formerly a great pine forest. 

 It is bounded on the south by the forests of Glenavon and 

 Marr. It is used now for pasturage. Cairngorm forms 

 part of this forest. 



GLENAVON, 



in the parish of Kirkmichael, county of Banff, contains 

 22,086 Scots acres. Since 1773 it has been occupied as a 

 grazing, but it is said that the Duke of Richmond con- 

 templates restoring it to a deer forest. It adjoins the 

 forest of Marr. 



GLENBUILY, 

 adjoining Glenavon, 3396 acres. 



GLENFIDDICH, 



parish of Mortlach, county of Banff, 5522 acres, is pos- 

 sessed by the Duke of Richmond as a deer forest, and has 

 always been retained as such by the Gordon family. 



Of all these ancient forests, the last and Gaick are the 

 only ones now strictly preserved for deer ; the others are 

 pastured by black cattle, or sheep, and are therefore only 

 partially stocked with the nobler animals.
