From five and twenty to thirty pairs nest annually at St. Mary’s 
Isle, the seat of the Earl of Selkirk. The nests are placed chiefly 
in old ash and beech, a few on the tops of old pines. This heronry 
is known to have been in existence sixty years ago. At Dalry 
there is a flourishing heronry, containing from twenty to thirty 
nests, on spruce firs. A small heronry existed formerly on the 
estate of Compton, near Kirkcudbright, but the birds deserted the 
place in 1866.

in Glespin Wood, near Douglas. In June, 1870, a single nest was

about a mile from this loch.
