There has been no comprehensive study of the salmon waters of Scotland for 68 years, and in that time, much has happened to alter their characteristics both physically and in terms of their ability to support runs of Altantic salmon - one o the world's most enigmatic creatures. This definitive work, by two experts, covers every salmon water from the border to the Outer Hebrides, describing each river from source to estuary, and including every major salmon-bearing tributary.

After opening chapters on the life-cycle of the salmon, salmon stocks, fishing for salmon and a general view of the salmon river, the book embarks upon a careful and thorough examination of the salmon-bearing river systems of Scotland.

It is written for both the salmon fisherman and academicians.
