Kayaking in Scotland – River Ericht, Blairgowrie

An exciting and picturesque section of the River Ericht starting below the road bridge in Blairgowrie. The first few kilometers involves small rapids which you can portage easily or paddle through.

After passing the Kitty Swanson footbridge you will have only mellow meanders, plenty of wildlife and great scenery.
