The River Tay, Perthshire

For experienced paddlers looking for the challenge of white water, the fast waters and standing waves between Stanley to Thistlebrig on the River Tay are superb as well as a whole lot of fun. In fact, SUP heaven can be found on several sections of Scotland’s longest river as it flows from Loch Tay all the way down to the sea in Dundee. Beginners might try the calmer waters that wind past Tay Forest Park between Ballinluig village and the charming twin villages of Dunkeld and Birnam, where as well as stunning scenery, the river passes historic monuments such as the ruins of Dunkeld Cathedral and the famous Birnam Oak (as mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth). Is there a better way to travel through the beautiful natural surroundings of Perthshire?
