The Rivers

Welcome to the Kyle of Sutherland, the location of some of northern Scotland’s finest salmon angling.

Centuries ago the four main Kyle of Sutherland rivers, the Carron, Oykel, Cassley and Shin, were seen as the tributaries of one main system. Indeed a cursory glance at a map would lead many to reach such a conclusion. If they were actually one river, the latter would on the basis of its combined salmon rod catch (between 3500 and 4000 annually) rank just below the four “great” Scottish salmon rivers.

However although the Kyle rivers share a common estuary, they each have their own individual characteristics as well as distinct runs of salmon. These are wild, rugged yet strangely intimate rivers, which offer a wealth of salmon angling opportunities amongst some of the most stunningly scenic backdrops in the Highlands.
