Much of the land is heather and bracken-clad and is given over to game, including deer, pheasants, partridges and grouse. Sheep farming is carried on to some extent and highland cattle are reared, while in some parts small farmers, known as crofters, wring a difficult livelihood from the soil.In the east, in Aberdeenshire and district, however, agriculture reaches a fairly high level and, largely on account of the progressive policy and natural skill of the farmers, good crops are raised. </p>
