River Tay
 The River Tay begins its course in the village of Kenmore where it
flows out of Loch Tay. In fact there are several tributaries which run into the
loch, but they have different names (Rivers Fillan, Dochart and Lochay). The
river is already quite large by our standards. It has a typical flow in excess
of 100 cubic meters per second in Kenmore. By the time it reaches Perth the
River Tay has the higest flow of any river in the UK. In fact more water goes
down the Tay than both the Thames and the Severn combined. |
 The Tay is one of the country's premier
salmon fishing waters - and even boasts
the rod caught record (63lbs by a Miss Ballantyne in 1922).fishingnet.com - more fishing info The river is also used for other water sports, especially rafting and canoeing.  Along the river you will also find some
splendid walks and cycle
