Tay (Grandtully)

Following logging operations at the SCA access point at Edradynate on the upper river Tay, the forested area has been returned to cultivation as a field and fenced.This has caused uncertainty among paddlers about the access position. The SCA has discussed the situation with Michael Campbell, owner of Edradynate Estate, and with Martin Kennedy, the tenant farmer. Canoeists are welcome to continue to use the SCA Access point. New signs have been posted on the gate at the roadside and at the riverside. Mr Kennedy will be turning the field to grass late this year. Please try to keep cars to the hard-standing road and turning circle. Do not drive over the cultivated part of the field. In particular please remember to keep the gates shut.

Work on improvements to the SCA-owned Station Yard campsite is now complete. Facilities include car parking, camping facilities for tents and caravans, showers, toilets and an office for event organisers. These can be used either on a daily or overnight basis. A public toilet which will be open to all during the summer. Please park here while paddling rather than at the Riverside Inn. Booking into the site is being administered by the Riverside Inn (phone 01887 840760), who are open 11:00 - 23:00. When you book in you will be given the access code for the site.
