Is this the finest Scottish white water river for canoe touring? For the quality of the white water at this level I would make it number 1. There is another 17 miles of river (fairly easy) from our finish point to the sea. I will go back and complete this at some point. Meanwhile the Tweed is now the other missing one on my bucket list. I was fortunate to be invited by Dave Janes of Paddle International to do the trip with them. Chris Stevens was his number 2 and I was well looked after by these two and the rest of the team. The trip and company exceeded my expectations. Loved the paddling and camp spots. https://www.paddleinternational.com Thank you to Dave Janes and Graham Little for the use of video clips and photos.
