About River Forth

The River Forth is a major river in central Scotland, 47 km long, which drains into the North Sea on the east coast of the country. Its drainage basin covers much of Stirlingshire in Scotland's Central Belt. The city’s castle is located at a strategic crossing point of the river. From Stirling, the River Forth flows east through charming towns including Cambus, Alloa and Airth before reaching Kincardine and widening into the Firth of Forth.
