Colquhoun (John), 1805-85 
John Colquhoun, principally known as a sporting writer, 
was the second son of Sir Janies Colquhoun, of Luss, third 
baronet, and was born at Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, 
March 6, 1805. He adopted the military profession, and in 
1834 married Frances Sarah Fuller-Maitland, the poetess. He 
lived to the age of eighty, dying at Edinburgh, May 27, 1885. 
His most celebrated work is his Moor and the Loch , of which 
at least six editions have appeared. It contains some account 
of Highland birds, of which the osprey and kite are the 
most noteworthy. His trapping instructions, however, make 
the ornithologist shudder.
