Fishing at Kinnaird
Five miles of private beats along the River Tay, Scotland's largest and best known fishing river, run through the Kinnaird estate boasting some of the finest salmon fishing in the country. Trout fishing takes place at the Millpond and Loch Skiach. With the dedicated attention of your own private ghillie, you will learn first hand about fly fishing and spinning on your exclusively reserved beat.

“The Silvery Tay is Scotland's largest and best known
Salmon river, famous for its salmon, brown trout and grayling fishing. The river
Tay and its tributary the Tummel, run through some of the most beautiful scenery
in Scotland. Lower Kinnaird is one of the best fly fishing beats on the Tay. In
his book ‘The Great Salmon Rivers of Scotland’, the fishing author
and exceptional angler, the late John Ashleigh-Cooper says of the River Tay
“there is no better big fish river in Scotland” and particularly
commends the Fir Trees Pool on the Lower Kinnaird beat. Ashleigh-Cooper
describes how his party took 115 fish in a fortnight, in the autumn of 1983,
fishing Lower Kinnaird, and he and his party continued to fish annually on
Lower Kinnaird until his death.”
