through Lochs Katrine, Achray, and Vennachar. 

 The junction of the two is near to Callender. The 

 Keltie, a small stream, but well stocked with trout, 

 falls into the main water, about four miles below 

 this town. All the lochs which the Teith flows 

 through are well provided with trout, some of which 

 are often taken of gigantic size. There are pike 

 and charr, but not numerous. Trolling in these 

 still waters is a most successful mode of taking large 

 fish. Besides the Keltie, there are the Eracklin 

 Burn, Stanack Burn, Loch Watston, and Loch Mag- 

 haig ; in all of which there is good angling. 



The Allan is a fair trout stream, but not of any 

 great note. What fish we have seen in it have been 

 small, and likewise poor in quality. 



Should the angler be rambling on the banks of 

 the little river Knaig, which is a feeder of the 

 Allan, he must turn aside to the village of Aidoch, 

 where he will find the remains of a Roman station, 

 the most perfect in Britain. It is supposed by 

 General Roy to have been founded by Agricola, in 

 one of his northern campaigns. In form it is rec- 

 tangular, and its dimensions are about 500 feet by 

 430 within the entrenchments. There are five 

 ditches and six ramparts. This is altogether a most 

 interesting object to the antiquarian and intelligent 

 rod-fisher. On the road to Crieff there are several 

 other Roman camps, of different magnitudes. 



Let us pass on now to Aberdeenshire. The ang- 

 ling in this district is good, both for salmon and 

 trout. The chief rivers are the Dee, the Urie, the
