Old Travel Blog Photograph River Avon Tomintoul Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of the River Avon near Tomintoul, Scotland. The River Avon is a river in the Strathspey area of the Scottish Highlands, and a tributary of the River Spey. It drains the north eastern area of the Cairngorm Mountains and is largely contained within the Cairngorms National Park. The source of the River Avon is conventionally said to be Loch Avon situated between Cairn Gorm and Ben Macdui, Gaelic: Beinn MacDhuibh. Loch Avon itself collects headwaters from a number of burns on these two mountains. From Loch Avon, the river then continues east down Glen Avon to the north of Ben Avon, for 10 miles before turning north towards the village of Tomintoul and Strath Avon. There is a River Avon Fishing Association that promotes tourism in nearby towns and fishing along the river.
