The natural supply of fish fluctuated from year to year and in some places was affected by over fishing. Sir Ramsay Gibson Maitland set up the Howietoun fishery in 1873 to produce a supply of young fish which could be put into rivers and lochs in order to sustain the fishing. Several dozen ponds were built on Maitland’s estate on the edge of the Campsie Hills, where there was a good supply of clean water. In 1979, the University of Stirling acquired the Howietoun Fish Farm. It is used today by the University's Institute of Aquaculture and is still run as a commercial enterprise, exporting all over Scotland. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
