Robert 'Bob' Lane Scott (1903–1981) was probably the best known deer stalker on Mar Lodge Estate, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The son of Donald Scott (1852–1915) and his wife Elizabeth ''Birnie'' (1862–1911), Bob was born in Linn of Dee Cottage, attended the school at Inverey, and worked as a Deer Stalker, all on Mar Lodge Estate. In ''Smith (1989)'' a school photograph - taken at the school in Inverey - shows Bob looking about ten years old. Bob will probably be best remembered by the many hill walkers who spent a night or two in the bothy at Luibeg during the years that he lived in that cottage – and by the weary ones to whom he offered lifts between Luibeg and the public road between Linn of Dee and Linn of Lui. ==The Bothies== From about 1952 Bob offered the use of part of the outbuildings near ''Luibeg Cottage'' as a bothy for a nominal fee. This was the first ''Bob Scott's Bothy'' and was destroyed by fire in 1986. The second ''Bob Scott's Bothy'' was built soon afterwards, on the east-bank of the ''Lui Water'' on the downstream edge of ''Derry Wood''. That had an open fireplace and was also destroyed by an untended fire 17 December 2003. The third ''Bob Scott's Bothy'' was built, on the same site (see photograph below), but with an enclosed fire (stove). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Scott (deer stalker)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
