Everything about The River Beauly totally explained
The
River Beauly (
Gaelic Abhainn nam Manach, ) is a river in the
Scottish Highlands, about 15km west of the city of
Inverness.
It is about 25km long, beginning near the village of
Struy, at the confluence of the
River Farrar and the
River Glass . The river meanders as it flows east, passing to the south of the village of
Beauly and into the
Beauly Firth.
The river was first bridged in 1814, when
Thomas Telford constructed the Lovat Bridge about 1km south west of Beauly. This bridge carried the
A9, the main route north, until the
Kessock Bridge was opened in 1982. A railway bridge across the river on the outskirts of Beauly was built in the 1860s to carry the Inverness & Ross-shire Railway (now the
Far North Line). Another road bridge, near Kilmorack, was built in the 20th century.
The river is part of the
Affric-Beauly hydro-electric power scheme, with dams and power stations at
Aigas and
Kilmorack. Both have 20MW generators and include
fish ladders to allow salmon to pass, the Aigas fish ladder is open to visitors in the summer.
Eilean Aigas is an island in the river.
