there is more or less of fine trout. The best known, 

 and most frequented of those, is Loch-na-Break, in 

 which very large fish have been often found. 



In the Island of Bute, the angler will find Loch 

 Pad, and Loch Ascog, good sheets of water for pike 

 and perch. In the Grenan Loch there are large 

 trout, but not numerous. Salmon are taken out of 

 Loch Jorsa, in the Island of Arran ; and good sized 

 trout out of Loch Tanna. In Jura there are two or 

 three localities for the angler, but not of any 

 moment. 



Leaving now this Highland district, we shall

 in the county of Perth. The chief rivers in it are 

 the Tay, the Lyon, the Tummell, the Garry, the 

 Almond, the Ericht, and the Earn. 



The Tay rises in Breadalbane, on the frontiers of 

 Larne. A short distance from its source, it receives 

 the accession of several rills, which considerably 

 augment its bulk. Soon after, it diffuses its waters 

 into a small lake, called Loch Dochart ; and, in fact, 

 the river here bears the name of Dochart. Continu-

 another loch of the name of Dochart. Here another 

 river falls into it from the north-east. These waters 

 are now diffused into the famous Loch Tay. Issuing 

 from this at Kenmore, the Tay is further increased 

 by the waters of the Lyon. It proceeds through 

 Athol, receiving in its progress all the waters of the 

 county, till at Logierait it is joined by the Tummel. 

 The Tay now bends to the south, and advancing
