The Red Deer is one of the largest deer species and can be found across most of Europe, and in other parts of the world too. The meat of a red deer, venison, is widely used as a food source to the extent that red deer farming now exists. In Scotland, there is a healthy red deer population. Figures vary, but there are estimated to be between 500,000 - 750,000 red deer in Scotland. Although red deer traditionally lived in forests, they have adapted their habitat and behaviour in Scotland as the forests declined. They are now found mostly in glens and on mountains across the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands of Scotland. This vintage book contains accounts of the authors' experiences hunting for deer in the Scottish Highlands, making it highly recommended for those with an interest in historical Scottish hunting.

The only wild animals of size in Ireland or Scotland historically were the deer, the wolf, and the boar. The latter was admired for its strength and fierceness, and often appeared as a symbol on helmets. The grace of the deer and elk were also celebrated, and were often the centre of traditional Gaelic art. This fascinating volume explores the roles boar and deer have played in Gaelic literature throughout history, with sections on etymology, history, poetry, local lore, and much more. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Gaelic history and culture, and it is not to be missed by collectors of allied literature.
