Filled with beautiful illustrations, "A Speyside Odyssey" details
the fascinating life story of the Atlantic Salmon as it undertakes
one of the most remarkable, and most deadly, journeys in nature.
The story begins with conception in a remote highland burn, and
follows the hazardous journey the salmon take through small
tributaries, to the River Spey, and from the estuary on to distant
oceanic feeding grounds. After gorging for one or more years on the
prolific food sources of the North Atlantic, the odyssey draws to
its conclusion as, with remarkable accuracy, the salmon complete
the long journey home, to spawn in the burn of their origin. The
salmon's life-cycle provides a unique background for a natural
history of Speyside. As the year unfolds, the changing topography
of the landscape and river, the details of bird and animal life,
wild flowers and salmon fishing lore are brought to life in words
and beautiful watercolour illustrations. "A Speyside Odyssey" is an
emotive celebration of natural history in a breathtaking and
captivatingly beautiful area of north-east Scotland.
