Fishing tour to prove a catch with Scottish visit

A plastic fishing tour will travel around Scotland to raise awareness of pollution in the country’ s waters.

Created by environmental charity Hubbub, the 12-seater vessel – made of 99 per cent recycled plastic and called the Poly Roger – will take people on trips to highlight the growing issue in rivers and canals.

The one -week tour will be launching on Tuesday at the Falkirk Wheel before heading on to Kirkintilloch Marina, Maryhill and Dalmuir-bowling Beach.

Gavin Ellis, director of Hubbub, said :“The pictures we’ve received from all over the country have shown how widespread the problem of plastic pollution is and it’s clear there is a strong desire from the public to help keep their local areas clean and safe for wildlife.”

Scottish Canals will be supporting the plastic fishing trips.
