A secluded valley loch a couple of miles from Newburgh in north Fife, run as the Golden Loch Fishery. Eight hundred years of recorded fishing history and, at its best, one of Scotland's most atmospheric trout waters — a shallow fertile loch ringed by farmland and woodland, reached down a lane most visitors miss on the first attempt. Mixed stocked rainbow, brown and blue trout. Bank, boat and float tube. The fishery has had recurring Argulus (fish louse) issues over the years and operating status has shifted around as a result; it's worth phoning ahead before you drive. When it's on, Lindores fishes like nothing else in Fife — quiet water, serious fish, and a sense of being somewhere older than the road you came in on.
