All gather at the fishing hut to await the piper leading us to the banks. A wonderful day considering the rest of Scotland’s weather situation.
Jim Braithwaite gives the poem and offers the Toast to the river with our Junior member Murray Mackenzie making the first cast.
The piper then pipes our return to the hut as the hot sausage rolls and bread pudding are taken to ward off the chill wind of the morning.
