If you have the odd pound or two doing nothing have your own private loch

300K for a river with no fish in it seems a tad steep. Prior to salmond farming this was one of the best sea trout systems in the highlands. I recall it moving with fish during one visit in September 1980.

Nice part of the world, though :D
Indeed it is, but so far I've been able to visit it without spending 300K :D The river is not worth fishing, it was 30 years ago, but not now.
If I had a spare 300K I'd buy a house in New Zealand and spend 6 months of the year there and the other 6 months in Scotland.
Seems to be slightly over priced at 300k but like everything else you will get someone from down south willing to have there own wee Highland retreat to them selves. Plenty of commercial properties on the go the now as in hotels.
It may be the owners are trying to preempt possible changes to the land reform act. One proposal is to tie salmon fishing to landownership in the same way trout fishing already is. This would mean fishing could not be sold separately. This is exactly the kind of change struggling families living in damp tenements in Dundee and Glasgow have been demanding for years.
But it certainly goes to show how "in touch" are our representatives.
