LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LOCH

A naturally eutrophic (nutrient rich) 22 acre loch, Coldingham Loch is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its unusual position of being a freshwater loch in such close proximity to the sea. It supports a wide variety of aquatic plant, insect and bird life as well as stickleback, perch and of course trout. The loch and its environs offer a beautiful peaceful place to guests to enjoy whether it’s a short stroll along the shore path or a more vigorous hike up to and along the coastal path which offers breath taking views from the magnificent cliffs.

OUR FLY FISHING

Coldingham Loch is one of Scotland’s oldest trout fisheries and has a superb reputation as one of the best top of the water lochs in the country. Fed by underground springs and the only eutrophic (naturally nutrient rich) loch in the Scottish Borders, it offers the discerning angler the opportunity to enjoy fantastic sport in an exceptional location.
