River Knaik

The River Knaik north of Brano

The River Knaik is a river in Perthshire that is a tributary of the Allan Water.

The river is formed by a union of burns flowing off the slopes of Ben Clach and neighbouring hills, then runs east-south-eastwards into Strathallan, where it turns southwards into Braco, and on to the Water of Allan.

Beside the river, across from Braco, is a Roman fort, known as Ardoch Roman Fort. A Roman road runs north-eastwards to the River Earn, with the remains of fortlets along it.
