A Fantasy Scene
This is the sort of Highlands Scottish scene that would please John Buchan fans anywhere. So what is going on here?
The Macnab of course comes from the iconic sporting challenge launched by John Buchan's 1925 novel "John Macnab."
The challenge involves hunting a red stag, fishing for salmon, and shooting a brace of grouse, all within a 24-hour period.
It's a test of skill and endurance, reflecting the adventurous spirit of the Scottish Highlands.
Variations include the Royal Macnab but this is a family website so I won't go into that here!

Oh and of course, we fishermen know that catching the salmon is the hardest part of the John Macnab.
