Alistair Makinson Prints


We are just about to launch this important initiative to help fund habitat conservation projects on the Tay. Well-known artist Alistair Makinson is donating £20 from every print of each of five Tay fishing beats sold in aid of our TWCP project. This particular picture is of Newtyle. Framed prints will be hanging in the fishing huts of each of the participating beats. Scottish Native Woods are administering payment, you can find details of Alistair Makinson prints under How You Can Help on our website, www.scottishnativewoods.org.uk . Links will also be available through the home page of each fishing beat on FishTay. The prints will be limited to 75 of each beat, with the originals also being available for £1750.
There follows a few pictures of Newtyle. Over the next few days, I will be putting up the prints and a few photos of each of the other four beats.
If this works well, it is our intention to take this up to a higher level next year, and use the proceeds to help projects on Tayside more widely, not just TWCP.
