Re: wester ross

Saithe is all I caught.
A little farther north on the Assynt crofters' estate I asked if I could spin for trout. (Their leaflet says they need more predators to thin out the small ones in the myriad of lochs). All I got was a turned-up nose and "You can fish from the rocks".

Funny coincidence near Gruinard Island - I stopped in a layby and saw a hat bobbing about in the bracken over the wall I wondered what he was doing until he came into full view - it was a birdwatching acquaintance from my home town! Neither of us had known the other was in the area.
