River Bugging on the River Tummel in Pitlochry

Meet at the entrance to the Scottish & Southern Power Company in Pitlochry at your chosen time. We will proceed to the banks of the River Tummel where you will receive a briefing on using the "bugs," a combination of a raft and an inflatable chair, to navigate the river.

While seated on the river bugs, start your journey down the Tummel as your guide directs you through the rapids and around rocks, allowing you to discover Scotland's rural landscapes.

Experience both calm stretches and white water falls with exciting rapids. If you happen to fall off, simply swim down the river to climb back on.

After two hours of bugging on the River Tummel, you will return to dry land and be taken back to the original meeting point.
