Ex-rocker Feargal Sharkey has demanded answers after a key stretch of Scotland’s most famous salmon fishing river deteriorated into “poor ecological condition”.
Data from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency shows a popular 20-mile section of the River Spey in the Highlands to have been in a poor overall state since 2019.
Undertones frontman Sharkey - now an eco warrior calling for healthier rivers - warned Scots authorities they had badly dropped the ball in allowing the iconic waterway to be degraded.
