THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAND. By Derek Mills and Neil Graesser.
(1981) 1984 reprint. Large 8vo (159 x 240mm). Ppxii,339. B/w maps, bibliography. Green boards, spine titled in gilt.
"There has been no comprehensive study of the salmon waters of Scotland for sixty-eight years, and in that time much has happened to alter their characteristics both physically and in terms of their ability to support runs of Atlantic salmon ...This definitive work, by two experts [Derek Mills and Neill Graesser], 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". In addition to a thorough treatment of each river in the text, pull-out maps of the relevant stretches of each give the name and location of each beat and pool. A fascinating and thorough work, still of great relevance as a position statement for the Atlantic salmon which may be compared with studies undertaken since that time.
