Regional Water Bailiff Training Day – Fisheries Management Scotland

This week the Ness District Salmon Fishery Board, in collaboration with Police Scotland, hosted a Regional Water Bailiff Training Day at Ness-Side Estate. This was attended by a total of thirteen Water Bailiffs from the Rivers Alness, Conon, Beauly, Ness, Nairn, Findhorn and Lossie.

Inverness Wildlife Crime Officer P.C. Cailean Macleod and his colleague P.C. Davy Elliot led proceedings. They gave in-depth classroom and practical sessions relating to communication, procedures, conflict management, fisheries legislation, productions and statements. This included realistic scenarios on the banks of the River Ness.
