able in point of size. A few carp are said to exist in 

 some of these lakes. 



In the district of Kintail are two well-reputed sal- 

 mon streams, the Sheil and the Croe, running at a 

 short distance from each other. I have fished in both, 

 but as neither was in trim, met with little sport. In 

 the upper pools of the Sheil, however, I descried, look- 

 ing down from the banks, numbers of salmon and 

 grilses, and have no doubt good angling is occasionally 

 obtained on this small river. The Loing and Elchaig 

 also are frequented by salmon.
