joe, i went over on a golf trip in the '80's, and was knocked out by
the beauty of the place and the gracious nature of the locals. i
stayed in a little town about 40 miles from st. andrews named comrie,
with a friend of the family. there was a great little hotel in the
center of town called (surprise, surprise) the royal hotel. it sits
nearly on the banks of the earn river, a beautiful piece of water that
was full of rising fish in the early evenings. i didn't fish--didn't
bring a rod, spent all my time playing golf and driving around the
countryside.

truth be known, i would imagine you could find decent fishing at many,
many places north of edinburgh. comrie might be a good gate into the
highlands.
