A stretch of a prestigious East Sutherland salmon fishing river has been put on the market.
Galbraith is handling the sale of the Lower Brora Fishings, a stretch of the River Brora, with offers of over £825,000 invited.
The sale comprises three miles of left bank fishing in a beautiful, peaceful Highland setting, with a 10-year annual average catch return of 134 salmon and 18 sea trout.
Rod Christie, a partner with Galbraith, said: “The Lower Brora Fishings are an exciting and varied stretch of river in a stunning and yet readily accessible part of the Highlands.
“With 33 named pools, the water fishes well at all water heights with something for everyone including faster runs and wide glides.
“The river is easily accessed by car or on foot and in recent years has been very successfully let on a weekly basis to anglers from across the country all coming to the area to enjoy fantastic sport on one of the Highlands most prestigious and stunning rivers.”
The landholding extends to about 115.9 hectares (286.4 acres) with amenity and mixed woodland, crofted land and common grazings
The fishings comprise some 33 named pools divided between four separate beats, with two Upper and two Lower, offering some exceptional fly water with the ability to fish at varying water heights.
Four rods are accommodated on a daily rotation with the south bank, such that anglers can enjoy plentiful access to the river (north bank) without ever fishing opposite anyone.
With a season running from February 1-October 15, the fishings are let to various tenants (many long standing returning guests) throughout the season with a gross annual income in the region of £50,000 before costs. Bookings and associated deposits have been paid for the 2024 season.
