Scottish Evening

The evening walk home along River Tay is a repetitive one but the sounds never get old. The rushing water quickly flows along its set path and off into the distance. The strong wind pushes the water away faster and blows a cold wind against you. A robin sings single notes above the other loud noises. The River Tay is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh-longest in the United Kingdom. The Tay originates in western Scotland on the slopes of Ben Lui (Beinn Laoigh), then flows easterly across the Highlands, through Loch Dochhart, Loch Iubhair and Loch Tay, then continues east through Strathtay (see Strath), in the centre of Scotland, then southeasterly through Perth, where it becomes tidal, to its mouth at the Firth of Tay, south of Dundee.
