We had an excellent day out yesterday, hosting the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board on a tour of Glenlyon and Glen Lochay, looking at how TWCP projects could help them deliver effective management on the river, and seeing how they could help our own efforts. We spent the morning on the Lyon, with the afternoon in Glen Lochay. The day covered a mixture of big strategic issues and smaller community type projects that we could help deliver. There was an excellent turn-out from Board members, a number of the Lyon ghillies were in attendance, the weather was excellent, Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) gave us a tour of some of their facilities, and we finished the day with tea at Boreland House. Thanks are due to TDSFB chair John Milligan, clerk Callum Towns and Fisheries Director Dr David Summers for helping to organize the trip, to our two glen reps Judge Stroyan and Alastair Riddell for guiding us through the two glens, and to SSE for making staff available to show us their facilities and how they work.
