About Lana Richardson
Lana Richardson has been an Ambassador for Fulling Mill for several years now. Learning how to fly fish was as natural as learning how to ride a bike for Lana. From age 4, she was independently catching trout in small streams and hill lochs. By about 5 years old, Lana began fishing for Atlantic salmon. After catching her first salmon at age 6 on a stoat’s tail, her love of fly fishing was truly ignited. Lana primarily fishes in the highlands of Scotland for Atlantic salmon, brown trout, and sea trout, although if it can be caught with a fly she will give any species and technique a go.
Lana lives in the Scottish Highlands and works in the habitat conservation & land management sector. She is fortunate to have fisheries conservation and management as part of her day-to-day job. Alongside her main career, she also enjoys guiding and teaching beginners how to fish. Any time she isn’t at work, she is almost always found casting a line somewhere.
About Colin Macleod
Colin Macleod is from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. He masterfully blends his lifelong passions for fishing, music, and crofting. As a seasoned ghillie, Colin guides anglers through the island’s wild moors and salmon-rich rivers during the summer months, offering authentic Hebridean fishing experiences grounded in deep local knowledge. His profound connection to the land and sea not only shapes his guiding principles but also inspires his music. Colin has toured internationally and performed alongside renowned artists such as Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, and Robert Plant. His songs reflect the landscapes and spirit of the Hebrides — honest, rugged, and soulful. This balance between tradition and creativity embodies the best of Scottish life — and makes him an invaluable member of the Fulling Mill Pro Community.
