Excerpt from The Scottish Naturalist: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Zoology, With Which Is Incorporated "the Annals of Scottish Natural History"
Though somewhat reserved and studious, he yet was a most agreeable colleague and companion, whether indoors or out of doors. No one enjoyed more than he the wild scenery of hill and moor, of forest and rocky shore; and he was equally at home with the grasses as with the insects and birds - ever ready to cap a remark with a quaint or humorous Scotch or Irish story, of which he had an inexhaustible collection. Again, many a quaint story he told at the Zoological Dinner of the British Association and elsewhere, at those of the Royal Societies' Club, and of the Royal Physical Society, Edinburgh.

This book is a detailed examination of Scottish ornithology during 1912, produced collaboratively by two avian specialists: the Duchess of Bedford and William Eagle Clarke.

This record includes extensive notes on 134 species that were observed during 1912. The authors provide detailed accounts of each species, including their arrival and departure dates, their behavior while on the island, and any unusual sightings.
