Following on from 'golden grahams' post of fishing in the cold, i've been looking for somewhere to fish this week, in and about the central Scotland area.

Had Markle in mind but its frozen, so does anyone know or recommend a venue, for a few hours that is likely to be open of have visited over the last few days??

Choking to get out for a few hours, reckon may have to phone about each morning....

Let me know any ideas??
