PITLOCHRY — Visitors to the Pitlochry fish ladder claimed on Thursday that a salmon had been seen “wearing sunglasses” as it passed the viewing window during the bright spells.

“I know what I saw,” said one. “Wee black shades. Very confident fish.” Experts said salmon cannot wear sunglasses. The visitor said “this one could”.
