That's what it is like in Scotland � everyone
wants to see you having a great time on holiday.
If sea angling is more your thing then there
are charter boats available all around Scotland
and again tackle can usually be easily hired
for the day.
There is a myth that the salmon rivers of
Scotland are the preserve of the elite but
nothing could be further from the truth.
All the best salmon rivers always extend
a warm welcome to beginners and their families.
The ghillies on these rivers are more than willing
to pass on any tips they can and
in fact many ghillies are highly qualified
instructors with an international reputation.
If you don't have salmon fishing gear then again
don't worry as many beats can organise the loan
or rental of tackle. Just let them
know in advance and don't be embarrassed
to say that you are a beginner. Everyone had
to start somewhere!
The only real danger is that once you start
fishing it can turn into a lifelong passion. You
have been warned! But the good news is that
after you've had a taste of the great fishing and
fantastic holiday that Scotland can offer then
you will want to come back every year.

Fishing is a brilliant way
to enjoy Scotland's
outdoors with all
the family...
