About this site
A freshwater dive in Scotland's Southern Uplands, this river site offers clear, shallow waters with gentle currents. Expect rocky ledges, submerged trees, and occasional sightings of brown trout or pike. Visibility varies with rainfall, often best in summer. The sheltered location makes it suitable for beginners and training dives. The surrounding hills provide scenic views above water. Cold water requires proper thermal protection year-round.
