I’d suggest fishing in Scotland is expensive because of American money driving up prices.

NB Doesn't matter who owns it, we can still walk over it!

Are Americans buying land in Scotland specifically for fly fishing? Not that I don't love visiting Scotland, it just seems unnecessarily expensive and far when Montana offers vast areas of (to my knowledge) world-class fly fishing without an international flight.
