It is to be hoped this fishing museum will "hook" 10,000 visitors per year. It tells the story of fishing for Atlantic salmon with rod and line in the Scottish Borders. Inside are more than 1,500 artefacts including, maps, books, models, illustrations, films and photographs, plus rods, reels and fishing flies. There is also a mock interior of a River Tweed fishing bothy from a century ago. Entry is free.
