Dunbar is on a distinguished road
Default 'Fisher in the Hills' by Robin Ade

I remember reading this book back in the mid 80s not long after it was published - a very evocative account of fishing in the lochs and burns in the Galloway Hills.

I'd like to re-read it to take me back in time.......did a quick web search, however everyone seems to be charging daft prices - anyone got a copy for sale or know where to get a copy?

thanks.

Finally managed to get an ex-library copy in superb condition from Amazon. This book is a gem, takes me right back to when I first read it. The illustrations which accompany it are sublime. A very talented author.
