Tucked into the rugged folds of the Great Glen, just a short drive from Fort William, the River Garry is one of those places that gets under your skin. It’s dramatic, beautiful, historically fascinating — and when the dam releases, it becomes one of the best whitewater experiences in Scotland. At Active Highs and In Your Element, the Garry is our home river, and we think it deserves a lot more attention than it gets.
Everyone knows the Scottish Highlands for their mountains — but the rivers running through them are some of the most exciting in the UK. Whitewater Rafting, Funyaking, Tubing, Canyoning And More!
