The Western Isles of Lewis, Harris and the Uists are something of an angling paradise, with thousands of lochs offering some of the highest quality trout fishing in Scotland and, although some of the salmon and sea trout fishing in quite exclusive and expensive, most of the trout fishing is readily accessible at reasonable cost. The lochs listed represent only a small sample of the many lochs available.

The maps on this website have been reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew.

Please note that these maps may date back several decades. Much of the human detail will have changed but the character of the rivers and lochs, and the trout and salmon in them, will be much the same as they have always been.

In addition to the information provided here, I would recommend that anyone planning a fishing or walking trip in Scotland should equip themselves with a compass and the appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I have given the relevant O.S. Map number. See Ordnance Survey Maps.
