INTRODUCTORY. 



IN the opening stanzas of this Poem, the Rambler, referring 

 to his angling experiences on several of the more prominent 

 rivers and lochs connected with our Highland districts, dwelleth 

 very briefly upon their leading features ; and, at Stanza Fourth, 

 is moved by the recollections of a tour through the wilds of 

 Sutherlaridshire, in the year of our Lord 1850, to descant upon 

 some of the sporting waters belonging to that county.
