Salmon Rivers Of Scotland
We will bid adieu to old Ireland for a season, and its fair city Dublin,
"with the blue sky over it," and step into the steam boat at Kingston
for Holyhead, seat ourselves in a carriage, and trundle off to bonny
Scotland--a country of many waters, stored with fine fish; we cross the
Tweed, at Berwick, of pastoral fame, and dash into "Auld Reekey" with
flying colours in no time.
The beautiful city of Edinb
rgh must not be left without viewing it from
end to end, as it is worth while to spend a day or two in it, if you
have not been there, were it only to inspect its monuments and
antiquities, which are numerous, in fact, the city at large is a
complete curiosity. From here the angler will be able to take rail for
Perth, on the banks of the famous "river Tay;" and as the line touches
on Stirling, should it be convenient, there might be a day or two spent
on the Forth. There are abundance of trout about four miles up the
river, and some salmon; small plain flies suit it best.
