Welcome

Welcome to the original Thurso River website which is now dedicated to promoting the fishing, shooting and stalking activities associated with the Private Beat, Dalnaha Cottage and No.10 Dalnawillan. Both of the cottages have fishing on the Glutt water (trout and salmon), plus access to several Hill Lochs. If you are yet to experience the pleasure of these areas, you will discover a wealth of information right here. There are also photos and videos on the site to give you a taste of the uniqueness of this truly wonderful place. Additionally, this site retains pre-2016 Thurso River content including catch data, photos and videos.

For those who have not had the pleasure of reading "The History of Salmon Fishing On The River Thurso" by Malcolm Dutchamn -Smith, I truly recommend it as a very enjoyable and informative read. Malcom has fished ( still does) the Thurso for almost forty years and you can feel his affinity with the river. If you are looking for a nice Birthday gift ----or even an early purchase for a Christmas present, then I thoroughly recommend it. It is published by Medlar Press.
