Family Stories, Fishy Tales and Red Herrings Wanted

Yesterday's article, Bring Us Your Family Stories about Berwick's Fishing Families, Fri 17 to Sun 19 July in Berwick Guildhall said that we are particularly interested in these names: Burgon; Manuel; Borthwick; Jamieson; Crombie; Young and Hattle but we’re also looking for any other names in that area connected with fishing.

Recently, Newcastle University started a project to involve local people in recording their untold stories and knowledge of salmon fishing on the Tweed.

The project was launched at The Pilot Inn in Low Greens, Berwick and they had a follow up at the Jubilee Centre in Spittal.

They have displays and videos to watch and they’ll be looking to hear your salmon fishing stories too (and some free nibbles too). 

We hope to see you on Friday, Saturday or Sunday (17th to 19th July) at the Guildhall, Berwick.
