This Scottish upland stream flows through remote Highland terrain, offering classic spate river conditions with fast-flowing water over rocky substrates ideal for trout and salmon. The narrow, intimate character and peat-stained water mean fishing is best during and immediately after rainfall when water levels rise. Access is generally available on foot through the hills, though permits may be required from the local estate or fishing authority—advance enquiry is essential in this remote area.
