Jock Scott
"The most famous of all salmon flies, created in 1845 by Jock Scott, (born in 1817 at Brankholme) who, for twenty five years, served as Fisherman to Lord John Scott of Kirkbank on Tweed. A successful fly, not only in Scotland but also in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in Canada, in Spain, Iceland, Finland and Norway." [Another version is the fly was originated by Lord John Scott's water baliff.]

"Indeed it was on a voyage to Norway that the first Jock Scott was tied. Sir Edward Grey, in Fly Fishing, said of the Jock Scott, "the best all round fly, excellent for all seasons, weathers and waters in Great Britain, and to be used of all sizes. I believe the Jock Scott to be the best blend of colour that has ever been invented for a salmon fly." High praise indeed."

Mosfellskirkja. The church at Mosfell.
The church was built in 1965 but the churchyard surrounding it is ancient.

Again a shot in desparation. Thinking of the time all the time with to little time - or too unorganized -  to catch the few precious beautiful moments of daylight outside. My late fathers old watch still going strong and keeping track of time passing.
