Loch Achray and the Blackwater

The Blackwater flows out of Loch Achray and into Loch Venachar. The river gentally meanders through the village of Brig 'o Turk where we will often find signs or the many beaver that live along this stunning section of river.

Dress for the weather with footwear you don't mind getting a bit wet.

Remember this is Scotland, there's a fair chance it will change, so pack yourself a spare layer and some waterproofs, just in case

This trip is on the river so there is a slightly higher chance of having an "out of boat experience", you don't have to be able to swim but being water confident will help.

We'll start on Loch Achray and learn the skills we need to get us through the trip before dropping down onto the river to Brig 'o Turk and then either down Loch Venachar, or back up to Loch Achray depending on the river levels and weather conditions
