Description:Excerpt from The Annals of Scottish Natural History: A Quarterly Magazine With Which Is Incorporated "the Scottish Naturalist" In 1866 he went to Lapland and Sweden, and returned to Sweden in the two following years. In 1869 he visited Turkey and Greece, along with Mr. H. J. Elwes, on a collecting trip, the results of which are detailed, under joint authorship with his friend and companion, in the "Ibis" for the year 1871 - one of these delightful accounts of good field work which graced the earlier volumes of that magazine. He made four different expeditions into Africa for sporting purposes - to the Gold Coast in 1872, accompanied by Captain Shelley; to Matabeleland, in pursuit of birds, in 1873, with Frank and William Oates; to Amaswaziland in 1876; and lastly to Kilimanjaro in 1888-89, with his greatest friend, Guy Dawnay (M. P. for the North Riding of Yorkshire from 1882 to 1885), whom he had met first in South Africa in 1873. In 1882 he paid a first visit to New Brunswick, in company with his cousin, Mr. Charles Akroyd, and went there again in 1884. In 1893 he went on a sporting expedition with Akroyd to the Rockies. A grand series of his trophies of all these several expeditions have ever since adorned the hall and staircase of the lovely house in Inverness. He became the lessee of the shootings of Gordonbush, Brora, in Sutherland, and occupied these from 1870 till 1873. In 1874 he married Miss Reed, only child of Ellerington Reed, of Gordonbush;and since he returned from his last African expedition he may be said to have resided principally in Scotland. In 1885 he purchased the small Highland estate of Rossal, on the River Cassley, in Sutherland, but he resold it two years later, because he did not find the sporting or the residential amenities of the place up to his expectations. He then built the handsome house in Inverness, in which he had resided as his home till his death, and which was named Rossal after his previous possession. On the River Helmsdale Buckley broke the record of salmon killed by rod single-handed in the North of Scotland, the previous record having been twenty-one fish to one rod on the Thurso.
