Summary "Twenty-six Years Reminiscences of Scotch Grouse Moors" by W. A. Adams is a personal memoir written in the late 19th century. This account chronicles the author's extensive experiences and reflections on grouse shooting in Scotland, particularly focusing on the challenges and changes he encountered over the span of twenty-six years. The memoir provides insights into the historical context of grouse shooting, the rustic beauty of the Scottish moors, and the evolving nature of the sport. The opening of the book establishes the author's nostalgia for his past shooting days, revealing the profound impact that his experiences on the moors had on him. Adams introduces the reader to the state of grouse shooting in Scotland during his early years, detailing the loneliness of remote areas and the wild, untamed landscapes. He reflects on the camaraderie and lessons learned, such as the camaraderie with fellow sportsmen and the vital role of dedicated dogs in successful shooting expeditions. The narrative begins with the amusing tale of his first grouse hunt, capturing the excitement, challenges, and ultimately the "grouse fever" that drove him to continue pursuing this passion for many years.
