The river Dochart rushes and tumbles over the Falls of Dochart, swirling down through the village of Killin.
The 14 mile length, of silvery Loch Tay, is dominated by the mighty Ben Lawers, all types of water sport take place on the loch. Celtic settlers constructed Crannogs on the loch.
The River Lyon runs through the picturesque Glen Lyon. The Village of Fortingall has mostly thatched cottages, we travel on to Kenmore, Taymouth Castle and Aberfeldy where Robert Burns wrote, " The Birks O Aberfeldy", no doubt inspired by the magnificent Falls of Moness.
After Aberfeldy the River Tay is joined with the River Tummel at Logierait. The River Tummels source is Loch Rannoch overlooked by the famous peak, Shiehallion, the picturesque Kinloch Rannoch lies on the River Tummel at the end of Loch Rannoch, we now pass through some of Scotland's most beautiful scenery to, "Queens View", over Loch Tummel to distant Loch Rannoch, then, on to Pitlochry, one of Perthshires best known holiday resorts.The Hermitage, cared for by The National Trust, has some of the tallest trees in Britain, with romantic follies and rushing waterfalls on the turbulent River Bran.The Tay passes through Dunkeld and Birnam through rolling farmland and deciduous woods.
We now leave the Tay to join the River Isla. Glenisla must be one of Scotlands most tranquil and beautiful glens. The peaceful River Isla becomes a rageing torrent at Reekie Linn. The River Isla is joined by the River Ericht near Blairgowrie. Meikleour Beech Hedge os 30 metres high. We again join the River Isla at its confluence with the River Tay, now one of Britain's largest rivers.
We visit Scone Palace, Perth has award winning gardens and floral displays, "The Fair City". Kinnoul Hill, 218 metres above Perth, gives a birds view of the River Tay as it winds its way to Dundee. After being joined by the River Earn, the Tay now makes its final surge to the sea. The River Tay and its tributaries flow through the most varied and certainly some of the most beautiful scenery in th eUniteed Kingdom.
