River pool of around hundred metres decent swimming. Stony beach, a few fallen trees on the north side. Lovely swimming in & out of warm patches, easy river current to swim in. Beautiful place
Location
Getting there
Road parking in a layby on Strowan Road, less than 10 minute walk across grassy field to river. It’s private property but Scottish Right to Roam makes is accessible as long as there’s no damage to property, crop or farm stock.
Accessibility
Slope from grass down to stony beach. A few bits of old metalwork from old gravel pits downstream but easy to get to the water. About 5m wading into the water to get to swimming depth

Frequently asked questions
Is this river safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current flow rate and recent rainfall. Rivers can become dangerous after heavy rain. Review community reports for hazards like weirs, strong currents, or access issues.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. River temperatures respond quickly to weather changes. In the UK, expect 5-10°C in winter and 15-20°C in summer at most locations.
What should I bring?
A tow float, shoes with grip for slippery banks, and warm layers for after. Water shoes protect against rocks and debris on the riverbed.
What should I know before swimming here?
Check recent rainfall. Rivers rise fast after heavy rain. Never swim in fast-flowing or flooded water. Test entry/exit before you commit. River banks can be undercut. Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing. Watch for submerged obstacles like branches, weirs, and rocks. Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.
