Access Info There is access info below on about 30 specific rivers and lochs e.g "hotspots", recommended access points, where to park, fallen trees etc. Rivers are listed in alphabetical order. The info here only covers access issues - if you want to know about what it's like to paddle a particular river why not order The SCA Guidebook to Scottish Whitewater ? Please note that while the site is kept as up-to-date as possible, situations can change rapidly, especially things like trees in the river and attitudes of landowners. The information here is not intended as a substitute for inspection, risk assessment and good judgement. The decision to paddle or not, and any consequences arising from that decision remain yours and yours alone. The
SCA does not enter into agreements with landowners that restrict
access to rivers, as we believe canoeing is a legitimate activity
and paddlers are entitled to make their own decisions about when
and where to paddle. Individual clubs and other organisations
are free to make their own agreements with landowners, but it
must be made clear to the landowners that these only apply to
the specific club or individuals involved, and not other However,
the SCA is willing to pass on landowners' comments on other uses
of the river and preferred paddling times, in order that paddlers
can make their decisions based on a full knowledge of that particular
stretch of water. The SCA will also negogiate about access and
egress points on rivers (particularly where vehicle access is
concerned) and paddlers are asked in the interests of good relations
to use these where they have been If you do encounter an access problem (or improvement!) not covered on the site, please send info so that the site can be updated. Allt Blalaich (upper upper Etive) Canals (Forth and Clyde, Union and Caledonia)
