The Rat in Scottish Myth.

Many curious beliefs formerly prevailed in Scotland.concerning the rat. One of the most common. of these was that there were cer tain districts where rats could not Jive, and could not even be intro duced: The old Scottish historian Hector Boece states that there were not rats to be found in his day in Buchan, while a. later author, Sir Robert Gordon, made a similar statement regarding Sutherland- shire. He says, If they come thither in ships from other parts, they die presently, how soon they do smell the air of that country," At the same time, according to a correspondent of The Scotsman, be asserts that rats abounded in the neighbouring county of Calthiness. Even so late as 1794 the belief prevailed. The writer of the articleson Morven and Roseneath in The Statistical Account of Scotland, states that attempts were made to introduce the rat in toy these parishes, but without success. With regard to Roseneath Be says From preva
