Thanks Hamish.  It was your Local Hero clue that helped.

Now i need to think of a suitable successor question.
But when i think of it, a wee side question.. If a seatrout water goes into decline then can it become a quality brown trout water?

[Hamish Young]

Absolutely 100% yes - I've seen it with my own eyes

H 

[Allan Liddle]

Loch Maree?

[Hamish Young]

Lochs Shiel, Eilt & Arienas immediately spring to mind

[Allan Liddle]

Ok here goes.

There are 14 waters that fall into the Spey worth a cast or two.  Some are tributaries of tributaries.  So it's dig the os maps out time lads as i'm asking name them?

Allan

[Ben Dixon]

Avon
Dulnain
Nethy
Truim
Fiddich
Livet
Calder
Feshie

Are the only ones I can think of without resorting to a map!



Ben

[Allan Liddle]

Off to a flier Ben, but still six short.

[Ben Dixon]

That's without getting the map out Allan, getting a map out for a question like that would be like taking your laptop to Mastermind so you can use wikipedia!!

Ben

[Mike Barrio]

Did anybody tell Stan he wasn't allowed a laptop?

[Peter McCallum]

That's without getting the map out Allan, getting a map out for a question like that would be like taking your laptop to Mastermind so you can use wikipedia!!

Ben

And you'd be knackered then too..........wikipedia!!

Avon
Dulnain

Fiddich
Livet
Calder

Only six more to go guys ......... any ideas?

[Alex Burnett]

Rinnes Tromie & Aberlour ?

[Peter Rawlinson]

Agree with Tromie,and Aberlour , not sure about Rinnes , ............

Luineag , Druie , and a couple of longshots ................Am Beanaidh , Insh , Duthil ?

[Peter Rawlinson]

I used to go clay pigeon shooting at Glenn Rinnes , do not remember the river being called that - think it is Dullan River .

[Peter Rawlinson]

And Einich ?

[Alex Burnett]

I used to go clay pigeon shooting at Glenn Rinnes , do not remember the river being called that - think it is Dullan River .

Aye yer right Pete, it's called Dullan Water which flows into the Fiddich then into the Spey.

[Allan Liddle]

Aberlour, ok i'll give you that as a bonus along with the Knockando and Mundole, but not the ones i was looking for as sport on these pretty patchy. Tromie yes and Dullan certainly but still leaves four more.

Tributaries of Tributaries count remember.

Keep guessing

[Peter Rawlinson]

River Eidart , Druie , Erict  and Dobrack ????

Then I give up .

[Alex Burnett]

Alex

Nope still missing four, or at least the four i'm looking for.    The red ones were never required, given sport on these is rather patchy.

 final clue:  Not as far down as Aberlour, or as far upstream as Grantown, given it away now

[Allan Liddle]

No more takers?

Ok the missing waters are.........................drum roll....................................


Avon (Aan) tributaries Conglass, Chaibet, Lochy and Ailnack.


So for  a follow up question.........

Where is the only part of the British Isles that is officially designated as Tundra? 

[Peter McCallum]

shetland

[bruce]

its got to be Methlick

[Jim Eddie]

No Bruce Methlick is the land that time forgot 

Good guess though 

Is it the Flow country in Caithness ?


 

Jim

[Allan Liddle]

Too general Peter.
Sorry Jim not the Flow Country, but good guess.

Given that Scotland has a lot of exposed high areas there are certainly several places that could hold this title, but there's only one that has been officially refered as tundra.

So specific name of area please.
