Excerpt from Historical Antiquities of Fife, Vol. 2: Chiefly Ecclesiastical, Connected With Some of Its DistrictsWhen the distinguished naturalist, the late Dr Fleming, was minister of Flisk, seals could be seen in numbers, sunning themselves on the sand-banks, when the tide was out, and when the tide was in, porpoises came tumbling up the river as far as Flisk manse. Now, not aseal nor a porpoise is visible in the whole Firth of Tay. The frequent steamer, and the ¿eet of ships which every tide brings in, or carries out from Dundee, have banished both seal and porpoise to deeper and to quieter waters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
