LOCH LEVEN. 



The trout fly fisher staying at Stirling, or 

 its neighbourhood, on the Great Northern, will 

 find himself agreeably situated in the centre of 

 many beautiful streams, to which he may have 

 easy access. At the town of Kinross, by the 

 head of Loch Leven, is a nice station for the 

 lake, and at the village of Largo, to fish the 

 river Leven, below which place it enters the 

 sea at the mouth of the Firth of Forth. A 

 short distance from Largo, near the Promon- 

 tory, is the town of Anstruther, famous for a 

 monument to the memory of " Maggy Lauder." 

 I had the pleasure of once seeing it.
