[Allan Liddle]

Was named after a tributary of the Nethy near Boat of Garten by the creator of Clan Rods Harry Jamieson.  It simply translates to Big Burn.  Dawia originally wanted to call the series Silver Stream but Harry persuaded them to reconsider to a more Scottish name and suggested this.

Not too bad wee trout burn if a little restricted and overgrown.

You da man Allan   

Every time I see an Alltmor rod I give a little snigger knowing where the actual "mighty river" really is!
Over to you Mr Liddle...

I forgot to say that the house in question is Harry's house / workshop where he finished the first Alltmor rods for Diawa.
He always referred to the Allt Mor as "the wee burn oot the back".
Clan Rods are still going and can be found here

I now wish that I had never sold my Clan 15' salmon rod.....

I don't know the book, but I do know its Gaelic name means Loch of the Minnows. Do I win a lollypop?

[Allan Liddle]

Nope, it's Loch of the Wee Troots btw.

As it's topical - Iain Banks' "Complicity?"

Beg to differ

Loch nan Doirb is the Gaelic

Doirbeaden, doirbeag and doirbearden means minnow...all of which are shortened to doirb for some reason. 

Breac, gealag or Samhnan means trout.....with bricean meaning small trout


Apparently... 

[Allan Liddle]

So sad yer still not getting it 

Sorry Iain wrong answer

[Marc Fauvet]

The Wolf of Badenoch by James Irvine Robertson

Ok pretty obscure so a wee clue, writen by the same author who wrote the short story 'The Quiet Man' later turned into a movie with John Wayne and Mary? O'Hara (not 100% on the female actress here and refuse to google answer  )

No Googling either guys.   

Another wee clue is the story was centered on Tirriemore Farm Cottage and a big fat clue is what you use to lock the door and where that lock usually is....... giving it away now.
