Fishing

Salmon and trout fishing is available on the world famous River Tweed which is just minutes from the Buccleuch Arms Hotel door. The season here is one of the longest, running from 1st February until the 30th November and with prior notice we can arrange a day's fishing and equipment hire.

The River Tweed has always been internationally famous for its salmon fishing, with people coming from all over the world to fish it.

After three record breaking years, not only does Tweed catch more Atlantic salmon than any other river in the European Union, but it also now ranks among the very top salmon rivers in the world.

The Buccleuch Arms Hotel is an ideal base for fishing in the Scottish Borders and River Tweed. If you need to practise we will arrange instruction from a ghillie and secure storage for all equipment as well as drying facilities are available.
