Text Appearing Before Image:
in theimmediate neighbourhood of Balmoral that Scrope shotthe great Braemar hart, the successful quest of whichhe describes with graphic force. Twice the stag escapedwhen his fate had seemed certain, but at length Thomasthe gillie again sighted him. 1 could pick him outfrom aw the harts in the forest, and gie evidence againsthim, Thomas declared, for he is a wary beast, andwe have had sair work wi him ; he has led us monya mile !
