fishing in/near Edinburgh

[lauri]

hi,

i'm heading to Scotland for the first time ever and would like to try some fishing also. if anybody is willing to give me a tour that includes fishing, i'll be in heaven. my arrival to Edinburgh will be tomorrow afternoon and i have free time till 15th of June. so, if anybody is willing to help me, i can be contacted through my cell phone [phone] and hopefully through email, though i can't guarantee that i have access to it all the time.

thanks,

Lauri

mostly trout and grayling fishing, salmon would be too much, at least for the start i will stay in Scotland for a week but will have free time for fishing only between 12th and 15th of June.
btw, what kind of flies should i tie, i still have one evening to tie some flies so recommendations would be nice.

Can I pitch in here? Lauri is one of Estonia's rising stars in biological sciences, and is visiting the UK as part of a programme to help him develop international contacts.

He's a great bloke, and one of eighteen flyfishers in Estonia. It would be really good if anyone from the forum felt able to take him under their wing for a day or two.
