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.

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.
