We prefer the higher waters of the stream to 

 those near the sea. The yellow trout are to be 

 found in tolerable abundance in some particular sec- 

 tions of the river. Its feeders are the Moy "Water, 

 which flows from Loch Moy, and the Bruach, from 

 Loch Bruach ; in both of which streams and lochs 

 there is good trout. A short distance from Dulsie 

 Bridge, the Pallanshock runs into the Findhorn, 

 and a little lower down the Darback, which springs 

 from Loch-an-Darb, in the vicinity of which there 

 is a cluster of small tarns, in which good trout and 

 pike are occasionally found. The stream called 

 Muckle Burn, situated at the mouth of the main 

 river, has both salmon and salmon-trout in it ; and 

 in some states or conditions of the water, large bas- 

 kets of fish are taken out of it. 



The Nairn lies between the Eindhorn and the 

 Moray Eirth, and is a good piscatory stream. It 

 has a range of thirty- five miles, and springs from 

 the neighbourhood of Cairn Gregor, in the county 

 of Inverness. It has some small feeders, but the 

 Cawdor Burn is the principal one. The common 

 trout, the sea- trout, and the salmon, form the staples 

 of its waters. 



Supposing that an angling tourist wishes to con- 

 fine his rod exploits to the varied waters directly 

 connected with the route of the Caledonian Canal, 

 we shall dot down one or two sentences for his espe- 

 cial guidance. 



Loch Linnhe is bounded on one side by the rocky 

 eminences of Appin, and on the other by the hills of
