Formerly an 18th century coaching inn, the Grant Arms is full of traditional character and offers high quality accommodation and meals along with a friendly welcome.
The Monymusk Estate Fishings consist of 13 beats over 10 miles of the River Don with 24 named pools.
Most of the beats are for two rods only ( three beats being for one rod ).
Two of the beats have fishing huts and each beat is clearly marked with white posts.
This stretch of the River Don has an excellent reputation and I have heard of some huge brown trout being caught on the fly.

Daily and weekly permits must be obtained from, and payments made to the Hotel reception before fishing, or the beat may be re-let. After Fishing, please give details of all catches, including NIL returns, to the Hotel.
The maximum number of rods per beat is two, preferably one for salmon and one for trout, except Beats 4, 5 and 12 which are single rod beats. The ends of the beats are clearly marked with white posts and sign boards and two of the beats have fishing huts. Fishers must remain on their allocated beat(s), as indicated on the map(s) issued. Permits will be checked on a daily basis by the Monymusk Estate bailiff. Failure to comply with this rule will result in the cancellation and withdrawal of the Hotel Fishing Permit.
All fishing must be carried out by FLY FISHING ONLY. All other methods of fishing are not permitted. Fishing may only be carried out from Monday to Saturday in any week and there is NO FISHING ON SUNDAYS. The length of the fishing day is from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset.
All unfit and red salmon must be returned to the river. All hen salmon caught after the 30th June must be returned to the river.
All trout under 12" (30cms) or over 2 lbs ( 800 gms ) must be returned to the river immediately. The trout bag is limited to six per day.
