Usan Salmon nets featured on Landward

I have mixed feelings, my family stayed at Usan in the 1930's, the villiage is now derilict. My uncle Jim was a nestman on the South Esk, always more of a sea-trout river. My old man was water baliff on the North Esk.

I think its hard to justify when Greenland voluntarily gave up netting Salmon at sea.
