Une faune du bassin de Moray . ng extensible en bois de bouleau s'étendant sur toute la route le long du côté de la colline. Après avoir quitté le loch, la rivière traverse un pays le plus imméfiant, principalement arable, bien que certains des meilleurs bassins de printemps soient situés ici, après la fosse à charbon de Brora, et entre dans la mer du petit village de pêcheurs de Brora. Presque toute la frayère sous le loch s'étend sur un fond pierreux ou graveleux, et offre une bonne frayère pour le saumon. Il n'y a pas de collines d'une grande hauteur ou d'une grande importance dans le thisarea, à l'exception de Ben Armine, avec ses deux collines non verydistinctes—Cre

A fauna of the Moray basin . ng stretch ofbirch wood extending the whole way along the hill-side. Afterleaving the loch the river runs through a most uninterestingcountry, mostly arable, though some of the best early springpools are situated here, past the Brora coal pit, and enters the seaat the little fishing village of Brora. Nearly the whole of theriver below the loch runs over a stony or gravelly bottom, andaffords good spawning ground for the salmon. There are no hills of any great height or importance in thisarea, with the exception of Ben Armine, with its two not verydistinct hills—Creasj Mhor and Creag Beof. It is a green hill, andthe whole of it is under deer. Eagles and Peregrines breed thereregularly and are fortunately preserved. Above Gordonbush thepeculiar conical hill of Beinn Smeoral rises (1667 feet), and alittle to the east is Kollieben, cold and damp on the north-east, drier and with rocky terraces on its south-western side.

Between the Brora and Helmsdale there is the small river ofLothbeg, which rises in the Meallan-liath, and runs throughSletal and Glen Loth into the sea by an artificial cutting on thesouth side of Crackaig Point. This little river runs through thewildest and finest scenery on the coast. Sletal was an ancientdeer forest, and the cairn under Craig-vockie was tlie last strong-hold of the wolf in Scotland. It is a wild confused mass of rocks, many of them now overgrown with moss and blaeberries, and yearsago the rock above was tenanted by a pair of eagles; even yet, these birds are occasionally seen in the autumn, and though nolonger a forest, a few deer are still to be seen in their ancientsanctuary.
