The River Tay in Perth, Perthshire

River Tay The River Tay is a river of the Highlands; the seventh-longest in the United Kingdom at 17 miles from its source to the Firth of Tay, where it opens up into an arm of the North Sea, and the largest river by volume of discharge. Despite its great length, the river is contained entirely within Perthshire. Indeed, the extent of Highland Perthshire is closely comparible to the lands drained by the Tay. The source of the Tay is in the highland region of Perthshire, at the very western edge of the county on the slopes of Ben Lui, whence it flows though a series of lochs and down into Strathtay to become a broad, tidal river in Perth.
