Trout Fishing Lochs around Elphin
Elphin is a crofting township, lying to the south of Assynt and Inchadamph and 15 miles north of Ullapool. It is one of many excellent trout fishing centres throughout northern Scotland, surrounded by such famous lochs as Veyatie, Cam Loch, Urigill and Borralan. Some of the lochs, for example Cam Loch, Veyatie, Ailsh and Awe, are fished on the Assynt Angling Group permit ( See Assynt Trout Fishing).

The maps on this website, extracts from the “Half Inch” Bartholomew map series of the mid twentieth century, have been reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew. Viewers should note that these maps date back several decades, to the mid twentieth century in fact. While much of the man-made details such as roads and buildings will have changed over the years, the character of the hills, lochs and rivers, and the trout inhabiting them, will have remained very much the same as they have always been, in the more remote regions at any rate! This website shows detailed maps of the major fishing locations. In addition, however, I would recommend that anglers planning a Scottish fishing or walking trip should be sure to equip themselves with a compass, the appropriate local Ordnance Survey map and a working knowledge of how to use them. The most useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For Elphin, see O.S. map number 15.
