Rhue (river)

The Rhue is a small river in Wester Ross, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It flows for approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Loch na Cròic to the sea at Gruinard Bay. The river is known for its scenic beauty and is popular for fishing, particularly for salmon and sea trout. The landscape surrounding the Rhue is typical of the Northwest Highlands, characterized by rugged mountains, moorland, and scattered crofting communities. The river's catchment area is relatively small, and its flow is heavily influenced by rainfall. The mouth of the river, at Gruinard Bay, is also notable for the infamous Gruinard Island, which was contaminated with anthrax during World War II.
