Embracing The Counties Of Dumbakton, Stirling, Abqtle, Perth, Aberdeen, Banff, Nairn, Inverness, Ross, Sutherland, And Caithness. We are now about to enter upon our third great angling route, or, we ought rather to say, an entire series of routes, which are by far the most varied, and, to many minds, will prove the most interesting of any we have yet treated of. The vast range of waters we are now about to describe, are fitted to inspire high hopes, and heart-stirring adventures; and to those who visit, for the first time, the northern parts of the kingdom, a new seme is communicated. Never will the young angler forget the lively sensations experienced on the first glimpse of Highland scenery. The sight is unique; the feelings and emotions of delight carve out new channels for themselves; and he wonders that the refreshing and invigorating novelty should have been so long hidden from his eyes. His soul is elated beyond measure, when he scans, through the bright crimson of a setting sun, the lofty and rugged peaks of Argyleshire; and as he wanders through the narrow and rocky glens, he feels a pleasure as pure, lively, ennobling, and spiritual, as any which mortal man, in this mundane state of existence, is permitted to experience. We beg to offer a word or two by way of explanation. As we have not undertaken to write an ordinary guide book of roads and distances, we must be excused from dwelling upon matters which are to be found in every general directory, or post-office hand-book. Our task is to point out the chief rivers and lakes which abound with salmon and trout, and which lie in the northern section of the Island. The fishing localities are so numerous here that we can do little more, ..

Excerpt from The Angler's Guide to the Rivers Lochs of Scotland Angling is, unquestionably, one of the most ancient arts or amusements of which we have any record. It is mentioned in the books of the Old Testament. It is engraved on Egyptian remains of three thousand years old; and, in the monuments from Nineveh, recently deposited in the British Museum, we have a representation, almost as large as life, of a man angling, with u rod and line, and with a fishing-creel on his shoulders, precisely similar in shape to those we use in Great Britain at the present day. The art is mentioned by Herodotus, one of the earliest Greek historians; and Theocritus, a Grecian angler, who flourished B.C. 270, treats of his favourite sport in a poem of considerable length. The Romans fished with net and hook, as we do at present; and a caricature of angling has been found among the remains of the City of Herculanæum.
