The River Tay: From Source to Mouth


From: hvg.heinemann.co.uk The River Tay from source to mouth and the associated land features: the river's source is high in the mountains, small, fast-flowing tributaries cascade over waterfalls to join the growing river as it travels through the Scottish countryside; the river runs into a loch, sailing and waterskiing are enjoyed on the open space; the river has now become wide and slow-flowing past rural communities, a hydroelectric dam blocks the path of the River Tummel, a tributary to the River Tay; again the river widens but is now faster-flowing with rapids, canoeists battle the white-water; further downstream the river slows and begins to meander across the flat landscape before entering the estuary and flowing out to sea, we see seals on the sandy beach.

Green laser pen tested across the River Tay


This is a video of a 100mW green laser captured approximately two miles from source. The laser was shone by myself in Dundee, over the River Tay and towards my friend sitting in his car (filming) in Tayport. We estimate the distance to be approximately two miles as the Tay Bridge itself is only slightly longer than this. You can hear our ongoing conversation during the video. From where I was I could only just make out the hazard lights on my friend's car. Watch to the very end for some unexpected bonus POLICE CAMERA ACTION!

First River Tay Salmon 2011.mov


The capture and safe release of this superb 20 pound early spring salmon upstaged a hapless John Swinney MSP, who tried unconvincingly to cast with a fly rod into the River Tay at Dunkeld for the attendant TV cameras. Opening ceremonies took place up and down the river, with the main ones here at Kenmore and in Dunkeld. As usual, there were more kilts than kelts and a splendid array of Tweeds, Barbours and everything in between. Sadly, the rapidly rising river put paid to most anglers' chances. This superb springer hopefully wins for its captor, Lee Conway from Glasgow, the Ian Redford Trophy for the heaviest opening day fish caught and returned safely to the river. We'll know for sure in tomorrow's papers. Once the waters recede and settle back to a good fishing height, there is no doubt that more of these superb spring fish will come to the rods. Tosee an interview with Lee and find out what his successful lure was, log on to: www.youtube.com Tight lines. Mike Shepley - 15th January 2011

Precision Paragliding... Video clip showing the effect the water/land temprature can have, at certain times of the year, and in certain conditions, on highly localised variations variations in the wind (or lack of). At the end of the clip in the space of 5 mins the fresh North 'pressure' wind (Isobars) that has been a constant feature at the Dundee side of the river 'punches through' (and down through) the air mass sitting over the river and south bank area.
