River Tay
Renowned for its fantastic salmon fishing, the River Tay winds its way through varied countryside from its humble beginnings in the quaint village of Kenmore.
Throughout its lengthy journey covering a total of 120 miles making it the longest river in Scotland, the River Tay passes through lochs, meanders up hills and tumbles through villages and towns. From start to finish, the river takes in some wonderful scenery as it swftly grows and begins to flow faster towards its destination.
There is a wealth of wildlife to discover along the length of the river, although to see some surprising guests of otters and seals, you will have to be lucky.
The river was witness to one of the parading of the Royal Highland Regiment – also known as Black Watch. In the 1740's, when a possible war with Spain seemed likely, the 850 men marched around the field by the River Tay near Aberfeldy, preparing for battle. The regiment were named ‘Black Watch' due to the dark red of the tartan they wore and because of their task of watching over the glens and mountains.
