River Teith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River Teith is a branch of the River Forth. Originating in Loch Lubnaig the river flows thorough/past Callander, Deanston, Doune and Stirling before joining the Forth near Stirling. The Deanston Distillery near Doune uses the Teith as a water supply for the manufacture of whisky.

The Teith is renowned for its fishing and for the splendid arched bridge ½ mile southwest of Doune.

The 'Brig o' Teith' was constructed by Robert Spittal, a Royal tailor in 1535.

Many believe that the Forth is in fact a tributary of the Teith and that as the river flows past Edinburgh into the North Sea it should be referred to as the Firth of Teith.
