Stinchar
Follow us: 
Many thanks to The Knockdolian Estate Fishings for facilitating this camera's location. The Estate offers accommodation with salmon and sea trout fishing on its own stretch of the River Stinchar. The River Stinchar has its headwaters in the Carrick Forest to the north of the Galloway Forest Park, only one kilometre from the source of the River Girvan. It has a main drainage course of 54km and initially flows north but for the majority of its length flows south-west via Barr, Pinwherry and Colmonell, finally entering the sea at Ballantrae. The river has a catchment area of 253 sq km, which includes the main tributaries of the Muck Water, the River Duisk and the Water of Tig. The upper reaches of nearly all the tributaries have experienced rapid forestry development over the past twenty years. Forestry and agriculture are the main land uses in the Stinchar catchment which has a low human population density and very little heavy industry.

Strathtalus offers unique accommodation in the heart of Ayrshire. Overlooking the naturally sheltered valley of the Water of Girvan, this is an area of natural beauty bordered by the rolling Carrick Hills.
