Another day of kayaking with Mr Crombie, this time on the Perthshire Garry and the Upper Tummel. Both rivers are very different, the Garry flows through a very impressive gorge below the Pass of Killiecrankie, the pass is renowned for its outstanding beauty and natural history. It has been gouged into the landscape by successive ice ages and meltwaters. The River Garry flows at the bottom of the Pass, while ancient mixed woodlands dominate the sides. Located 3 miles north of Pitlochry the site is owned and managed by The National Trust for Scotland. The Tummel The scenery throughout this reach is most picturesque, culminating at the point above the eastern extremity of the loch, known as the 'Queen's View'. The river flows through some remote woodland and is probably the quietest river I have ever paddled.
