Thanks Hamish. It was your Local Hero clue that helped.

Now i need to think of a suitable successor question.
But when i think of it, a wee side question.. If a seatrout water goes into decline then can it become a quality brown trout water?

« **Reply #301 on:** 17/02/2011 at 22:15 »

Absolutely 100% yes - I've seen it with my own eyes

Loch Maree?

« **Reply #303 on:** 17/02/2011 at 22:19 »

Lochs Shiel, Eilt & Arienas immediately spring to mind

« **Reply #304 on:** 17/02/2011 at 22:24 »

Ok here goes.

There are 14 waters that fall into the Spey worth a cast or two. Some are tributaries of tributaries. So it's dig the os maps out time lads as i'm asking name them?

Off to a flier Ben, but still six short.

« **Reply #307 on:** 18/02/2011 at 00:08 »

That's without getting the map out Allan, getting a map out for a question like that would be like taking your laptop to Mastermind so you can use wikipedia!!

Did anybody tell Stan he wasn't allowed a laptop?

Aye yer right Pete, it's called Dullan Water which flows into the Fiddich then into the Spey.

« **Reply #316 on:** 19/02/2011 at 21:05 »

Aberlour, ok i'll give you that as a bonus along with the Knockando and Mundole, but not the ones i was looking for as sport on these pretty patchy. Tromie yes and Dullan certainly but still leaves four more.

Tributaries of Tributaries count remember.

Keep guessing

« **Reply #317 on:** 19/02/2011 at 23:28 »

River Eidart , Druie , Erict and Dobrack ????

Then I give up .

Nope still missing four, or at least the four i'm looking for.

The red ones were never required, given sport on these is rather patchy.

final clue: Not as far down as Aberlour, or as far upstream as Grantown, given it away now

« **Reply #320 on:** 20/02/2011 at 19:56 »

No more takers?

Ok the missing waters are.........................drum roll....................................

Avon (Aan) tributaries Conglass, Chaibet, Lochy and Ailnack.

So for a follow up question.........

Where is the only part of the British Isles that is officially designated as Tundra?

« **Reply #321 on:** 20/02/2011 at 20:13 »

shetland

« **Reply #322 on:** 20/02/2011 at 20:16 »

its got to be Methlick

« **Reply #323 on:** 20/02/2011 at 20:21 »

No Bruce Methlick is the land that time forgot

Good guess though

Is it the Flow country in Caithness ?

Jim

« **Reply #324 on:** 20/02/2011 at 20:24 »

Too general Peter.
Sorry Jim not the Flow Country, but good guess.

Given that Scotland has a lot of exposed high areas there are certainly several places that could hold this title, but there's only one that has been officially refered as tundra.

So specific name of area please.
