	Technical Report C - The Costs of Wild Geese to Scottish Agriculture: Islay & Loch of Strathbeg Case Studies - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In the study of Loch of Skene, damage costs were not shown for individual components, only for grass, crops and restricted cropping.
		For the Loch of Skene area, where geese were more dispersed over a larger number of farms, damage costs were £3100 per farm in 1994/95 or £17 per hectare.
		Approximately half of all the damage at Loch of Skene is to grassland, but at Strathbeg only 36% of costs are attributed to grassland (43% if one heavily-affected arable farm is removed from the sample – see footnote to table).

	Phillips Grey
		Occasionally, however, this veil is withdrawn, and then you may see the sovereign brow of Palmoodie encircled with his diadem of snow, and the green summits of many less lofty hills arranged round him, like couriers uncovered before their monarch.
		One day,when we were at Loch Skene on a fishing excursion with him, he pointed up to the fl crag overhanging the water, and said—"You see the edge o’ that cliff; I ance as near dropped fracit intil eternity as I dinna care to think o’.
		By climbing up the rocks close to the stream, the distance to the loch is considerably shortened; and Philips, who had often clambered to the top of the Bitch Craig, a high cliff on the Manor Water, proposed to his brother that they should "speel the height." The other, a suppel agile lad instantly consented.
