Southern English rivers always look so gentle to me. Here we have the estuary of the mighty Tay....more water passes down there than the Severn and the Thames combined...it is the mightiest river in the UK and lots of salmon too....but even as far upstream as Dunkeld it looks fast and dangerous and forbidding. Beautiful though, I love rivers. My home town of Gainsborough has the river Trent which is a tidal river with the amazing eagre (tidal wave), that we used to go and watch sometimes; but that really is a dangerous river, lots of strong currants and very deep. In fact Gainsborough was at one time the biggest inland port in Britain...did you know that Oliveoil and Simbad?...I'm sure you did. The river Wye always looks so pretty ...the Avon too....lovely!
