The Sound of Many Waters: A Journey along the River Tay Quotes

“It was in the neck of the Boat pool in October 1922 that Georgina Ballantine, the daughter of a ghillie, landed the largest ever salmon at 64lb. The capture and landing is described as 'Homeric' on the beat's website today. Following its capture and killing, a cast was taken by a taxidermist from Malloch's in Perth. The fish's body was then donated to and eaten by patients and staff at Perth Royal Infirmary. The stuffed fish was then added to the sculpted monuments to the dead going up all along Tayside between the two world wars.”
