Make Tracks to Philiphaugh
Philiphaugh News August 2008
After a heavy rainfall the river Ettrick has risen and a large volume of water over the cauld has temporally knocked out the cameras. Once the river has dropped to a safe level we hope to get the cameras back up and running as quick as possible.
Before you begin your visit into the Salmon Viewing Centre. Stop in at
the Waterwheel Restaurant and hire our brand new audio
player and learn about the battle of Philiphaugh that took place in 1645.
After visiting the Salmon Viewing Centre take a short drive up to the Philiphaugh Gardens and buy some delicious fruit and vegetables from the newly restored walled gardens.
A fully narrated film entitled "The Philiphaugh Salmon" showing
twenty minutes worth of the best, recorded images from the salmon viewing
centre, will be available to purchase from the Waterwheel Restaurant.
The species included are salmon, trout, grayling, eel, perch, a brief
view of an otter knocking the camera and a goosander swimming underwater
below the cauld.
All proceeds will be used towards the upkeep of the centre, for the purchase of equipment, cameras and towards maintaining the facilities. The DVD is priced at £7.
