On Sunday I left Aberlour and Spey. Train back to Aberdeen and there Tom was waiting for me. We drove home to Tom and Jean. The house they live in is called Fishers Cottage. Great name for a lovely place. 30 meters from river South Esk. A small river, but with large salmon. The Queen Mother was there a lot in the old days. She had arranged the building of the extension on the house. Thats the yellow and green part of the house. The extension was then later used for cleaning and packing salmon. Trailers came and took salmon from here and they were then taken to London for export and sale. It was incredible amounts of salmon transported from here. The firm was named J. Johnston & Sons and it was one of the biggest salmon exporters in Europe.
In Fishers Cottage we stayed one night. So here are some pictures from that place.
