Duddingston Loch?

Hi all, was wondering has anyone tried fishing Duddingston Loch recently?
I fished there when I was young so got in touch with Ranger service to find out about permits. They sent details that follow:
We issue the permits here in the Education Centre Holyrood Park – which is a small low lying grey building set back from the flat playing fields across from Queen’s Drive. Our contact phone number 0131 652 8150. permits are free and last from one year. Fishing at Duddingston are catch and release.

  2. Sounds good to me, will give you a shout as soon as I get a chance to go get a permit. Working silly shifts just now covering summer holidays but will do my best to get one soon.
