Megan Boyd spent her life in an isolated Scottish cottage without electricity or running water, tying beautiful salmon flies for anglers who flocked to Brora to buy them from all over the world. She died in 2001 and is the subject of the film Kiss the Water.
Megan Boyd is considered to have been one of the world's finest salmon flytyers and she is the subject of the film 'Kiss the Water'. She was born in 1915, and was brought up in the Highlands of Scotland where her father was a bailiff on the River Brora. She began taking flytying lessons at the age of twelve and soon gained a reputation for tying beautiful feather-wing flies which were extra-ordinarily durable and lasted many seasons. In 1935, at the age of twenty, Megan left home and moved into a small cottage near Brora where she lived without electricity or running water until the 1980s. Visiting anglers from all over the world who came to fish the Highland rivers for salmon would stop by her cottage to watch her tie flies and place orders.
