'the Lay of the Last Angler'; Or, a Tribute to the Tweed at Melrose at the End of the Season of 1867, by a Sexagenarian [Hon. R. Liddell]. 5 Cantos

By Robert Liddell

"The Lay of the Last Angler" is a charming poetic tribute to the River Tweed and the sport of angling, written by the Hon. Robert Liddell under the persona of a "Sexagenarian." Composed in five cantos, this work captures the spirit of the fishing season's end in 1867 at Melrose. Liddell's verse celebrates the beauty of the Scottish landscape and the camaraderie of anglers. This poem offers a glimpse into the recreational pursuits and literary tastes of Victorian society and appeals to those interested in angling history, Scottish literature, and 19th-century poetry.
