MP Investigates River Garry Water Issue

"After five decades of hydroelectricity extraction from this source the price must not be allowed to be the disappearance of the River Garry the from map of Perthshire. I will arrange to make contact with Scottish and strongest possible representations to the company on behalf of my many concerned constituents on this matter.

"This is an issue that has united anglers, local people and environmental organisations concerned with the degradation of this river and I hope that their concerns are taken seriously."

Subsequently MSP Murdo Fraser met with campaigners to witness first hand the river's devastation. After visiting he pledged his full support for the campaign to restore the river for the benefit of the local and wider community. The MSP is pictured with Dr David Summers, Mrs Kirstie Crerar (Blair Atholl Area Tourism Association) and Willie Macgregor, the only remaining ghillie on the River Garry.
