Scotland’s Winter Seafood
Winter Seafood in Scotland is our newsletter article for February. Written by travel writer and broadcaster Viv Devlin it contains some fascinating notes on Scotland’s seafood as well as information on Scottish seafood suppliers and some delicious recipes. Over 5,000 fishermen and 2,000 fishing boats work the Scottish coastline and islands.
‘Good Food’ tourism is a fast growing business and Scotland is well positioned to thrive on the many regional specialities that a visitor can enjoy. Over two thirds of visitors to Scotland say they are keen to taste traditional Scottish dishes and Scotland’s fresh local produce. With Luxury Scotland’s excellent city and country house hotels, Michelin and Award winning restaurants, it’s easy to plan a gastronomic journey

Falling for Alva Fishing – Hook, Line and Sinker
Whether you are an experienced angler or you have never fished before, you may get hooked by an enjoyable and very informative article written for Alba Fishing by Linda Jackson, one of Luxury Scotland’s regular travel writers.
Scotland boasts some of the best and most exciting fishing in Europe. With locations ranging from wide smooth flowing rivers, deep pools in secret locations, dramatic rushing waters in the highlands, Scotland’s fishing heritage has produced a class breed of gillies like no others with skill and local knowledge passed down over the generations.
Alba Game Fishing, one of our partners at Luxury Scotland, combines elegant hotels and exclusive fishing venues off the beaten track to provide a unique Scottish fishing experience for their clients, who get the whole place to themselves for the day… not disturbed, not fished by the public and completely private. Because of that, fishing is dynamic and the experience is unforgettable… regardless of what they eventually bring home!
Most of Alba Game Fishing’s clients tend to be beginners and on corporate days over three quarters of those attending have never fished before. Interesting to note the number of budding female anglers is rising year upon year and, perhaps not surprising, attract more fish than the guys. (Editor is now smiling).
