HISTORY OF DECOYS ( continued ). | |
CHAPTER XVI. | |
SCOTLAND | |
| CURIOUS to say, I have no evidence that a Decoy was ever worked in Scotland, either for amusement or profit. That Decoys, especially on the cast coast, with its large estuaries and feeding grounds, could be successfully established in Scotland is beyond doubt. None of my friends or correspondents ever heard of a Decoy in Scotland, though many of them, especially the late talented Author and Sportsman, Mr. J. Colquhoun, express surprise at their non-existence, as well as remark upon the many favourable localities suitable to their construction. It is true that a Decoy was commenced by Major R. Chadwick, of Moy, near Findhorn Bay, north of Forres, but it was never completed. | |
