Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland is run by husband and wife team Sandy & Samantha Datta. Having salmon fished in Scotland for over 40 years, we initially founded Scotland’s first online salmon fishing magazine back in 2011and now have readers from all over the world in over 71 countries. With the magazine proving to be a great success among the salmon fishing fraternity, we felt that it would be good for other anglers to experience the same enjoyment we have had and are having from fishing for salmon in Scotland. We therefore, decided in 2013 to start designing bespoke tailor-made salmon fishing holidays in Scotland.
We at Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland use our knowledge and experience to design that unforgettable trip of a lifetime, so you have the best chance of making contact with the world famous Scottish Atlantic salmon. Our aim at Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland is to ensure that your fishing experience is at the heart of everything that we do. Whether you are looking for a short two-day spring salmon fishing break with minimal fuss or a two-week luxury salmon fishing holiday, our personalised service will cater for all your requirements.
With our numerous fishing partners across Scotland, we can arrange salmon fishing on a multitude of rivers, from the stunning Thurso, Helmsdale and Alness in the tranquil Scottish Highlands to the famous larger rivers like the Dee, Spey, Tay and of course the prolific River Tweed. We can also arrange fishing on many of the more intimate Scottish rivers including the Shin, Oykel, Findhorn and Teith. These rivers are described as the little-hidden gems of Scotland but are big in character and experience. Often they can be just as productive as their more illustrious counterparts. We at Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland take into account the time of year you want to book your holiday and then arrange your salmon fishing holiday around you and your personalised requirements.

Thank you for arranging the big 4in4 challenge for myself and my father. We both had a fantastic time fishing on the four most famous rivers in Scotland. We could not fault the organisation of our trip. From the initial contact right through to the end of our holiday, your company has been a pleasure to deal with. The scenery was magnificent, accommodation was top-notch, the fishing venues superb and our guide David… well we have made a new friend and to top it off, we have now both caught salmon in Scotland. We would highly recommend your services.
I just wanted to thank you for the amazing couple of days you put together for us at short notice on the River Tay. The whole family enjoyed their experience. The guides were all professional and the lunches were just amazing. My mother commented that it was the best food she had eaten since being in Scotland. My brother and I will definitely be returning in 2024.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team. We had a fantastic week in Scotland and my husband Neil thoroughly enjoyed his few days salmon fishing on the River Tay. The accommodation was outstanding and the service that you and your company deliver was both professional and personal throughout. We hope to return in the not too distant future.
I would just like to thank you for putting together a fabulous week on the Dess Beat of the River Dee. Anna at the lodge was brilliant and the food and accommodation superb and the ghillie Eion’s knowledge was second to none. I even managed to catch my first Scottish salmon! Thank you for arranging a great Scottish adventure.
Thank you for arranging a holiday that neither Greg nor I will ever forget! The accommodation was outstanding. The fishing beat and lodge was ace and Martin our guide was patient and a true gentleman. Greg even managed to catch his first ever salmon. We would not hesitate to recommend the services of Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland. Your company has been professional from the outset and we look forward to returning one day.
From Edinburgh to the Highlands of Scotland and the west coast you put together an amazing holiday for us and our hats go off to you. From the hotels to the ghillies every aspect of our holiday was taken care of and was hassle free. We can't recommend your company enough and will be speaking highly of you to our friends in the USA.
I don't know how to thank you enough for organising such a fantastic week on the River Dee. The lodge and food were excellent. The ghillie although a dry old bugger, was a gentleman and we finally managed to catch our first Scottish springers. We can not wait to return next year.
I will never forget everything you've done! Thank you so so much - it has been a total pleasure to work with you on this special trip.
I just wanted to let you know that we have finished our holiday in Scotland, driving back as we speak. Our stay at the Alness was as beautiful as you said it would be and gave us a real understanding of this lovely highland river. The service we got from the gillie was exceptional the accommodation completely wonderful and we can't thank you enough for that ... The Thurso was full of fish the stay and level of service we had was exceptional. We had one pre breakfast salmon from the bridge pool, and during heavy rain in the last few hours on our last day, we caught a 15lb cock salmon on upper fence pool beat 2 which was the icing on the cake. With our highest regards.
I should have written before now to say that although we had low water and no fish I enjoyed my visit to the Alness very much. A lovely setting and an entertaining and educative day with Peter. A lovely present from the kids.
I just wanted to say how much of a wonderful time we all had on the River with the two David’s last weekend. It was absolutely magical and the David’s were so accommodating and helpful, my father was so so happy and that’s all we wanted. Thank you again for all your hard work. We have recommended you to all our fishing friends.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging the trip with Dad: we had an amazing time - I managed to lose two fish (on the Dalmarnock beat) and Dad landed one on the Newtlye beat. Thank you so much again.
What an incredible trip and we're going to send the itinerary to many in our respective groups. It was a top notch few days and we cant wait to return. Thank you!
Wanted to send a big thank you for a great weekend in Dunkeld! Everything worked out super smooth and the entire party enjoyed the trip very much! The house is great, perfect for our group and I have already recommended it to a friend who is a Scotsman. Thanks again and maybe see you again for my 45th birthday.
We made it home late last night after a fantastic few days in Scotland. Just wanted to say a big thank you for organising the holiday for us! We loved every second! The fishing and Gillie were absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you! We will be in touch again for our next trip!
Thanks again for all you've done to arrange this wonderful trip! Myself and my son had a fantastic time and for Henry to catch his first ever Atlantic salmon, was the icing on the cake. Once again… Thank You Samantha
