The splendid River Findhorn between Dulsie Bridge and Tomatin, Nairnshire, Scotland
Commentary. Less well known than the River Spey to its east, the River Findhorn is an amazing river. Gorges, cataracts, waterfalls, and as here, sweeping, graceful meanders, bounded by green meadows and heather-clad hills. Its source rises over 800 metres up in the Monadhliath Mountains, south-west of Inverness. It generally flows north-east from the grey metamorphic rocks of the mountains to the Devonian Old Red Sandstone of the Moray Firth. It reaches the sea via a wide and beautiful estuary, west of the village of Findhorn, east of Culbin Sands and north of the town of Forres. It is 62 miles or 100 km. in length and like the Spey is renowned for excellent Salmon and Trout fishing. Its many stretches of rapids have also made it very popular for white-water canoeing.
