Andy Macdonaid lived alone in a cabin on the banks of a salmon river in the Highlands. He claimed to have made most of the record fish catches in that vicinity during the past 20 years and kept a record containing dates and weights to impress visitors. Last summer a young married couple from London were occupying a small bungalow near Andy’s cabin. A baby was born to them, and the only scales the proud father could obtain on which to weigh the new arrival were those on which Andy had weighed all the big’ fish he had caught in 20 years. The baby tipped the scale at 25 pounds!
