"For many years Andrew Greig saw teh poet norman macCaig as a father figure. Months before his death, MacCaig's enigmatic final request to him was that he fish on his behalf at the Loch of the Green corrie ; the location, even the real name of his destination was more mystrious still. His search took in days of outdoor living, meetings, and fishing with friends in the remote hill lochs of far north West Scotland. It led, finally, to the waters of the Green Corrie, which would come to reflect Grieg's own life, his thoughts on poetry, geology and land ownership in the Highlands and the ambiguous roles of whisky, love and male friendship."--Back cover.
