Little Gruinard
The Little Gruinard is a river in Wester Ross, Scotland.[1]
The river runs from the Fionn Loch into Gruinard Bay (famed for Gruinard Island). It lies within the Letterewe Estate, previously owned by Paul Fentener van Vlissingen, a Dutch businessman. The Little Gruinard has been a forerunner in the development of catch and release fishing amongst Scottish salmon rivers.
It drains a catchment area of 81km2.[2]
Fish
The Little Gruinard River supports a high-quality Atlantic Salmon population.[3]
Transport
The A832 road crosses the river via a bridge.[4]
