Item #267927
Record of shooting partridge, pheasant, hare, pigeon, and the occasional woodcock; with notes of ferreting and a few seasons’ salmon fishing, covering sport on several Scottish estates: Charlesfield, Gask, Auchterader, Perthshire (1889-1899); Strobhall, Perthshire (1900-1902); and Bachilton, Perthshire (1889-1902).
The total bag was nearly 3,000, including 1267 partridge, 863 pheasants, 232 hares, and 275 rabbits. Kept in a meticulous hand, identifying members of the shooting parties, places, and occasional remarks on weather and conditions. There is a separate record of pheasants reared and shot at Gask and Stobhall at end.
A single page records salmon and grilse taken at a dozen pools on an unidentified stretch of river (the Earn, near Gask, perhaps?) in seven seasons.
