River Earn

The River Earn is not the longest river in Scotland, nor is it particularly well-known by visitors, but it certainly has an interesting historical legacy. It starts in the lake of the same name and runs for about 75 kilometers until it merges with the River Tay in Abernethy, and is considered to be a tributary of this river. It passes the historical village of Comrie, Crieff (former capital of Strathearn, with several monasteries and some Pictish ruins) and the Bridge of Earn. Its uneven rocky bottom makes it impossible to navigate by boat, but also means that it is a perfect environment for Scotland's most famous fish: the salmon.
