This eel was caught in Tain River in about 1891. It was kept in a tank at at 1 Queen Street , Tain, and was 57 years old when this picture was taken in 1948. It lived to be over 60 years old and outlived its capturer. The photo of the eel was taken by C W Ross (see Picture #290) who we think caught the eel when a boy.
