Most of the Island rivers have runs of sea trout, particularly on Skye and Mull, while the Western Isles offer loch fishing in a wild and wonderfully remote setting. Orkney and Shetland once offered reliable saltwater sea trout fishing, although numbers, like those on the west coast, have declined in recent years.

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.

For a comprehensive guide to fishing on the lochs and rivers of Scotland, I would recommend that you invest in a copy of Bruce Sandison's excellent book:
