Description

This leather-bound stalker’s telescope has been selected because of its association with the Highlands. It is a typical example of equipment ghillies would use when deer stalking in the hills around the area. This telescope is particularly special as it was presented to Duncan McColl, head gamekeeper on the Mamore estate by King Edward VII in September 1909.
