Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order renews for the fourth time the prohibition contained in article 3 of the Rivers Tweed and Eye Protection Order 1980 which prohibited fishing for or taking freshwater fish in inland waters in the area prescribed in that Order without legal right or without written permission from someone having such a right. The effect of the renewal is that the prohibition has effect from 8th October 1991 to 7th October 1994.

The prescribed area referred to is so much of the catchment area of the Rivers Tweed and Eye as lies within Scotland. The area is illustrated on a map attached to the 1980 Order and is defined by reference to a detailed large scale map which may be inspected at the principal office of the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department, Edinburgh, on any working day between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.

The map annexed to and forming part of this note gives a general guide to the boundaries of the prescribed area.
