Allt A'Choire?

this one's a pain in the Arisaig, but i think Euan's got it?

[Hamish Young]

Yes, Euan has it - it is indeed Loch Beoraid. Why it appears a Allt a Choire on Google maps is a mystery to me 

The River Meoble flows from Beoriad down to Loch Morar and is (approximately) 20 times longer than the River Morar.
Loch Morar is the deepest stretch of freshwater in the UK, hence Morag (Nessies cousin) got in the deep there.

Awesome, all yours Euan

Good question Hamish, got me inspired to visit a wee bit of the country i've not been near in a long time.

Cool  If you decide to head for Loch Morar let me know, I fancy a day back on that loch, I've not fished it for 22 years.
The Meoble river is worth a squint at the back end by the way

Oh crap!
I'll have to come up with something good now. Let me ponder it whilst walking my dugs at the beach and I'll get back to you.

Well here we go....
Diawa had a range of rods called Alltmor. Where is the the Allt Mor that gave that range it's name?
Clues tomorrow if no-one gets it 

 

[Hamish Young]

Would it be a tributary of the Spey

H

[Euan Innes]

Errr, might be.....

 

[Hamish Young]

Is it a tributary of the Spey that is near to Aviemore

[Euan Innes]

It's a fair bit from Aviemore but you are in the right area.
It flows past a house that was important to Diawa - clue 1

 

[Hamish Young]

Is it a tributary of the Spey that is near Aviemore in the same way that Glasgow isn't  

I have a fair idea where it is, but the house thing intrigues me so I'm saying naff all

[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.

[Euan Innes]

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...

 

[Mike Barrio]

Great stuff guys, I didn't know that

Cheers
Mike

[Euan Innes]

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.....

Ok give's a wee minute to think up a suitable question, stealing a minute on the site from work at the moment but should think of something before end of lunchtime.

[Allan Liddle]

Ok Lochindorb features in a novel, what's the name of the book and author please.  No cheatin on Google.

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?"

[Rob Brownfield]

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...
