THE DEER FORESTS.
“In order that a few wealthy men may he able to shoot deer occasionally. millions of .acres are kept a solitary wilderness. These vast areas might provide a livelihood for tens of thousands of landholders, foresters, hotelkeepers, and others, ns in Switzerland catering for hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers. The owners of the doer forests deliberately prevent this; they do not wish to see the Highland as popular with tourists as are the English Lake District and the Isle of Alan. Nor do they wish to see an increasing rural population. The total rentnl of the deer forests in ihe year 1912 (the highest) was only £183,788, and in 1921 only £120.090—a mere bagatelle in comparison with wlmt the rents would he if these forests had been properly utilised for small holdings, sylviculture, and a tourist industry.” J. A!. Macdiarmid in “the Doer Forests.”
