Bangour Trout Fishery is situated in the south-east part of Bathgate Hills, just 17 miles west of Edinburgh in West Lothian near the small village of Dechmont, surrounded by picturesque woodland.
Originally built in 1902 as a water supply for Bangour village hospital (Edinburgh War Hospital), it was stocked with brown trout to keep the water pure and the senior staff were allowed to fish here.

Bowden is run by Jim and Jacqui Gargaro, along with Mattie, Morgan, Flo and an assorted band of cats and interested parties including yours truly.
Jim and Jacqui took on the fishery in 2004, and in 2006 were voted one of the top three fisheries in Scotland by readers of Trout Fisherman, sponsors of the popular Troutmaster Competition.
In addition to improving bankside facilities and removing some of the more intrusive vegetation, they have established a deserved reputation for the qaulity of the Bowden fishing experience. Tthey have also now added three self-catering cottages to the site, so you can spend even longer here!
