Join us in the Megan Boyd Bar and celebrate the life of the most famous fishing fly-tyer in the world. Megan grew up and lived in Brora where, as a young girl, she became fascinated with fly fishing.
She enjoyed socialising in the village so we are delighted to pay homage to Megan who’s legacy lives on to this very day. Look out for her photo and story on the wall in the bar.
Our bar is stocked with a wonderful array of wines, Scottish ales, local gins and whiskies. Of course, we have a fabulous selection of cocktails, all named after Megan’s famous fishing flies.
The Megan Boyd Story
From a humble background in Brora, East Sutherland, Scottish Highlands, Megan Boyd became the most famous fishing fly-tyer in the world. Works of art and labours of love, Megan’s exquisitely-crafted flies were highly sought after by top fly-fishers, including celebrities and royalty, such as Prince Charles, with whom she became a good friend. Her flies sold for hundreds of pounds.
Her legacy lived on after her death: a collection of 47 of her flies sold for £22,000 at auction in 2018. A film ‘Kiss the water’ was made of herextraordinary life and a popular book of her story sells well to this day.
Not bad for a lady from Brora!
