Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. ### The Fishing Waters of Scotland by McLaren & Murray -- 1972 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as FINE. This is 1972 FIRST EDITION. A book on the fishing waters of Scotland. It is in good condition and could almost be classed as New. The cover is glossy with softcover, the DJ has taken the shelf wear and handling. The fishing areas are well documented and include maps. 8 pages of colour plates, 16 pages of black-and white illustrations, with 32 maps. ## ## 'Scotland,' wrote Moray McLaren, 'has a greater range of game fishing ? salmon, sea-trout, brown trout ? and, at best, a higher quality of it than any other country in Europe.' ## ## An ideal illustrated companion for the angler, also for the traveller, this guide has been written by two experts who between them have fished in most waters of the kingdom. Each wrote separately about the ones that he knew best, and the personal touch of both authors enlivens throughout a mass of invaluable information. ## # Beginning with the Tweed, they move across to the western Borders and the fishing of Dumfriesshire and Galloway. Next they take in Ayrshire; the fishing of central Scotland, including Loch Lomond, the Forth, and Loch Leven; and then the Highland waters, dealing first with the Tay and the western areas in Argyll. Eastern districts, including the Aberdeenshire Dee and waters of the north-east, are described, including the Spey. The fishing of Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness follow, and four chapters at the end give a vivid picture of fishing in the Inner and Outer Hebrides and the Northern Isles. # # This dual authorship provides a breadth and depth: it ensures that personal experience and anecdote, which seem to be corollaries of fishing anywhere, are given full scope. The satisfaction of travelling and fishing at leisure in Scotland is also part of the authors' appreciation of the Scottish scene, and they show how the way of life in Scotland continues to be influenced by lochs and rivers to a notable degree, just as in the past the waters of Scotland have contributed to national song, poetry, legend, and history in a unique way. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
