River Tilt

The River Tilt is a tributary of the River Garry in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is sourced from the confluence of Tarf Water and the Allt Garbh Buidhe, from which point it flows in a southwesterly direction down the fault-aligned Glen Tilt. In the vicinity of Marble Lodge, it turns gradually to a more southerly course and, at Blair Atholl, enters the left bank of the Garry after being bisected by two islands.[1] The river's elevation drops 270 metres (890 ft) between source and mouth.[2]
