Travel Guide

River Spey at Rothes, Moray, Scotland.
Flood Alleviation Work Not surprisingly, the parts of Rothes which are built on the flood plain of the River Spey are prone to flooding. This is part of an extensive scheme intended to avert future flooding.

A salmon angler's point of view on Junction Pool at Rothes. It's February and the water is fairly cold; still the call of the spring salmon cannot be resisted! With a 15 foot long fly rod in one hand and camera in the other my intention was to show the sport literally from the angler's point of view. Within seconds of this picture being taken a fish did take the fly and if you look at the other pictures in this series you will see the results.
