They yield me present joys—they draw my soul to Thee.' NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, FEANKLIN 8 QUA «^9- 180852 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 18 69, by Gbnio C. Scott, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. TO THE AMERICA! ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OP FISH, GAME, AND BIRDS OF SONG, THIS BOOK IS EESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. As it might not be deemed kind in me to inflict upon the reader my thousand reasons for writing and illustrating this book with pencil sketches copied from life, 1 will therefore merely state that my experience of many years in the prac- tice of the gentle art, which has led me through so many scenes of beauty and loveliness, has made , me wish that all the world might learn the enjoyment conferred by the practice of angling. .1 have endeavored to portray the recreations of the an- gler in America, with his implements and his game ; add- ing a small tribute to the temperate and industrious class of men who follow for a livelihood the hazardous business of fishing on the broad seas. An outline of the progress of fish-cultiu'e in Europe and America is also given, with pencil sketches illustrative of the art of hatching and rearing fishes, including stairs and fish-passes for enabling fishes to surmomit mill-dams and falls. The fishes of our coast and estuaries, and' the peculiar methods adopted for their capture, form not only a sealed book to Europeans, but to those anglers in America also who confine their . recreartions to fresh-water attractions. Each game fish affords a distinct interest, with peculiarities worth studying. My sketches may lack artistic finish, but possess the merit of correct outline; and in the words of Raphael, " The outline is the picture." The reader may be assured that fishing, whether for recreation or gain, entices its vo- taries to imexplored sources of revenue and pleasure. : ^dii Preface. I am under compliment to the following gentlemen Francis Francis, of "The Field," author of "Fish-cul- tui'e," and " A Book on Angling," has contributed valuable suggestions, which I am pleased to acknowledge. Isaac M'Lellan. To this accomplished poet I am in- debted for contributing original verses to head my descrip- tions of several among our most important fishes.

    2Nd Edition 2019

    ` 2nd Edition 2019 INTRODUCTION With such a rich heritage, The Royal Regiment of Scotland has inherited a wealth of Regimental music for both the Pipes and Drums and the Military Band. Music is an essential part of Regimental life and dress is an important part of the military musician. This publication lays down the dress regulations for pipers, drummers and military musicians serving within The Royal Regiment of Scotland. Each battalion of the Regiment has its own band of Pipes and Drums manned by soldiers who receive their musical training at the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming in Edinburgh. The dress of each battalion’s band is quite unique and the Regiment is the authority and custodian of the heritage and standard of dress in each band. The Regiment has its own regular Military Band: The Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland formed from soldiers of the Corps of Army Music and two Army Reserve Bands (The Lowland Band and the Highland Band) made up of Army Reserve musicians. These military bands are an important part of our heritage and the Regiment has a s n o i responsibility to maintain the rich history and traditions of their unique uniform. t a l gu e R s No effeminate customs our sinews unbrace, s e r D No luxurious tables enervate our race; - d Our loud sounding pipes bears the true martial strain n a l t o So do we the old Scottish valour retain c S f o nd t English translation of the 2 Verse – ‘The Garb of Old Gaul’ (Regimental Slow March) n e m i g e R l a y Ro e Th 3 | P a g e CONTENTS Dress Regulations

If you’re based overseas, or expect to be posted abroad in the next year,itmakes sense to register as aService Voter.This allows you to be registered at afixed address in the UK even if you move around. AService Voter registration also lasts for five years, so once you’re registered, you shouldn’t have toworry about it while you’re busy overseas. If you’re based in the UK and are unlikely to change address or be posted overseas in the next year, you can register as an ordinary voter.
