Description

The Kinnaird fishing consists of two miles of double bank fishing 1.5 miles downstream of Brechin. All beats (except Powmouth) let for 4 rods although summer water may not allow this number on all beats.

A waterman will be employed by the estate to oversee and maintain fishings generally and to 'get you started'.

7 named pools from the "Willows" to "Haughs Rough". Steady improvements to the beat over the years by way of croys and bank work has improved catches dramatically over the last few years - especially in the autumn.

Hut in elevated position (no services). 2004 rents from à500/week plus VAT March to August

The Estate also has three other beats - see:
Kinnaird Upper
Kinnaird Lower
Kinnaird Powmouth
