Fishing, Scottish sporting history, and countryside memoir recounting Gregor Mackenzie’s life as a professional ghillie, salmon watcher, and river keeper. This signed 1978 first edition will appeal to collectors of angling literature, fly-fishing history, Scottish field sports, and firsthand accounts of traditional river management. Mackenzie describes his experiences on Scotland’s River Spean and later on the Dove, Avon, and Test, including encounters with poachers, prominent sportsmen, and notable figures such as David Niven, the Maharaja, the Duchess of Windsor, James Robertson Justice, and Sir Malcolm McAlpine. Illustrated throughout by Jane Weeks. Signed “Best Wishes, Gregor” by the author on the title page. Hardcover retains its original dust jacket. Binding remains firm and the photographed interior pages are generally clean. Foxing and age spotting are present primarily along the page edges, with some scattered interior spotting. Dust jacket shows toning, rubbing, soiling, creasing, and edge wear, including wear at the spine ends and corners. A penciled notation appears on the front endpaper. Please review all photographs for exact condition.
