Scotlands Salmon King is the autobiography of a man who started fishing at the age of five and hasn't stopped since, although now well into his eighties. Colin spent over 50 years as a ghillie on the River Tay in Perthshire, when he was lucky enough to have a job which he enjoyed as a hobby, and which has been very eventful, both in terms of the fish he has caught and the people he has met whilst catching them. In this amusing and poignant account the author talks about the many interesting characters he has had the pleasure, or otherwise, of meeting, and also describes the way fishing, and other countryside pursuits, have changed over the years. Scotland's Salmon King.
Brill! Wish I could be standing on the banks right now!
