Default Bruce Sandison Rivers and Lochs of Scotland

I am having trouble locating a copy of this book that is not ridiculously priced.
Amazon have them starting from £95.00 haha

Is it true that this book is going to be re-published?
If so does anyone know when it may be available or have any tips as to where i can find the old one?

Cheers
Paul.

Hi' Paul. You should be able to get hold of an old edition of 'Lochs of Scotland', as I have had the first series ( 600 lochs described ) and the second, which covered 1,000 lochs, for a lot less than £90. TC

Bruce is reportedly compiling the next edition this year. Which may go some way to lowering those joke prices you mention.

(trying to suppress the wish I'd stocked up on it when it wasn't a rarity - and failing)

A couple of weeks back I picked up a copy of Bruce's 'Trout Lochs of Scotland' (second edition) for £4.

Would very much like to get a copy of the Rivers and Lochs book.

Took me 6mths to find a copy at a reasonable price (£30) it's basically a bible for travelling and I've corrected changes to the owners of fishing rights as I've found them.

You'll need to stick to the Fish Scotland helpline who use the book as a reference anyway, while you wait to find a copy. Good luck.

(And no mine's not for sale!)
