on the Euehills at Drumtochty, which at that time was clothed in 

 young plantation. The exact date is not given, but coincides with 

 the above notes. Mr. Milne also informs me that one William 

 Ritchie, the carrier between Bervie and Auchenblae, brought a few 

 more Rabbits from Lord Arbuthnot's place a little later, and those 

 also got their liberty at Drumtochty. 



Referring to prices and uses of Rabbit skins about 1834, and to 

 an account in Starke's Picture of Scotland, Mr. Wm. Evans says : 

 "Now {i.e. in 1892) skins are worth 2s. a dozen, and the bodies sell 

 at 2s. 6d. a pair." 



Li the country the middlemen never give more than 2s. a pair, 

 skins and all; and in 1892 only Is. 9d. ; in 1903 only Is. 6d. j in 

 1904, Is. 7d. ; and the same in 1904-5.
