UPP ER STRATHEARN —PROSPECTS FoR THE 12TH.
—The wi ather hes been of late more favourable for the
moors and forests, and the grouse are improving fast. The
birds are getting strong on the wing, and few coveys can
now be approached within 20 yards. It is expected that
there will be good sport on several of the best moors in this
district by the 12th. The heather has been late in bloom-
ing, but it is now fast bursting into cower. On all the
Grampian ranges in this district, and on the Killin, Bread-
albane, and Callender ranges, the shepherds report more
favourably of the appearance of the grouse. In the deer
forest of Gleuartney, the deer are improving fast in condi-
tion, and the fawns are growing fast, and are now of goodly
size.—Scotsman.
