The Capercaillie in Scotland is a book written by John Alexander Harvie-Brown and first published in 1888. It is a comprehensive study of the capercaillie, a large woodland grouse native to Scotland. The book covers all aspects of the bird's life, including its habitat, diet, breeding habits, and behavior. Harvie-Brown draws on his own extensive observations of the capercaillie in the wild, as well as the work of other naturalists and scientists. He also includes detailed descriptions of the bird's physical characteristics, as well as its role in Scottish folklore and culture. The book is illustrated with numerous black and white drawings and photographs, and includes a fold-out map of capercaillie habitats in Scotland. The Capercaillie in Scotland is considered a classic of Scottish natural history writing, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of birds and wildlife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
