Fishing

Scotland is among the largest sea fishing nations in Europe with 66 per cent of the landings into the UK.

Around 90 per cent of the UK fish farming industry is based in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and Islands.

Scotland has over 50,000 km of rivers, many of which have wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout, and more than 30,000 lochs and ponds.
