RIVER TAY

Stretching across a length of 119 miles, the River Tay holds the distinction of being Scotland's lengthiest river and is counted among the five significant salmon-bearing rivers of the country.

Emerging as a small spring atop Ben Lui, the River Tay undergoes several name changes before it meanders its way through Loch Tay. As it nears the culmination of its majestic course, its breadth expands to nearly 2 miles, enabling it to transport a volume of water surpassing the combined flow of the Thames and Severn where one finds populations of salmon, otter, and lamprey.
