Flowing through beautiful strath lands in the shadow of Ben Klibreck mountains, the River Naver has played a significant role in Scotland for centuries: it even features on the Egyptian writer Ptolemy's map in the 2nd century. The river flows from Loch Naver to the north coast of Scotland through Mackay Country. Today, the river is known for its plentiful salmon.

When crossing the bridge, it is worthwhile to stop for a moment and enjoy the view of the river. Towards the north it flows around several sandbanks and develops on the western shore a large sandy beach before it flows into the sea - a unique river landscape and a great sight.
