The River Tay is Scotlands longest river, snaking its way through stunning terrain along its length. This section is 3 miles long and marks the divide between the Highlands and Lowlands, passing over as it does, the Highland fault line. Starting in Dunkeld, you can get on at the Atholl Arms, which is a Scottish Canoe Association access point - this puts you straight into a small rapid, nothing of consquence though, fun to do standing up or on your knees. 

To avoid the rapid, you can enter the river at the other side in the village of Birnam which has access via lots of small beaches. From here down you go past lots of sweeping turns as you head down to Caputh. The views upstream are especially spectacular, looking up to Dunkelds steep, craggy valley. 

The get out point on this section is the road bridge in Caputh, which you cannot miss, as you see it from a kilometre upstream.

Nestled next to the majestic Polney Climbing Crag, this little loch has a stunning location and unique atmosphere to paddle in.
