Tour Scotland Photograph of Old Salmon Fishing Boat

Tour Scotland photograph of an old Salmon Fishing Boat near Errol, Perthshire, Scotland. In Scotland salmon were revered by the Celts and Picts and carvings exist from various locations. The historical legacy of salmon also lives on in place names. The Norse word for salmon was 'lax' and places such as the River Laxford in Sutherland and Laxdale in Lewis reflect the importance of salmon. Scottish rivers have long contained high quality salmon populations which have in turn supported world-famous fishing.
