Tay Prints to Help Fund Major Tay Conservation Project


The “Mighty Tay” is perhaps the most majestic river in Scotland, and has been popular with many well known artists down the years, each leaving their own distinctive record of the beats on which they have visited and been entertained


Alastair Makinson is one such artist who is famous around the world for his pictures of wildlife and landscapes, and now especially for his paintings of rivers, and he has been a regular visitor to the Tay through recent years


Alastair has agreed to donate £20 from every print of each of five pictures sold to the Tay Western Catchments Project, with Scottish Native Woods looking after all of the necessary administration

These pictures each have a very limited edition of only 75 prints, and cost £60, which includes postage & packaging. Prints are 12” X 16”. The beats involved are all supporting this important project, a print and payment directions being available in the fishing huts on those beats. The original pictures are also available for sale at £1750, 15% of the sale cost being donated to the project

To enlarge each picture to full screen size, simply click on the image of each beat.
Please note:
The pictures on here are deliberately reduced in quality so that they cannot be reproduced from the internet.


To order your print, click on the text below each image. The prints cost £60.


We are using our own Donations software to administer payment. This will give people the option to donate a bit more if they wish to do so, or if people want to make a donation but not necessarily buy a print.

Your print will be dispatched directly from Alastair on clearance of payment.

It is our intention to extend the range of pictures available for the 2009 season, with the money raised going towards wider habitat projects on the Tay which we are developing with the Tay Ghillies Association and the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board.

Thank you for supporting this initiative. We hope that your picture will remind you of happy times fishing on the river Tay.
