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 270m (890feet) between source and mouth.[2]
It is crossed by five bridges on its course, the last one being the Bridge of Tilt, at Blair Atholl village, which carries the traffic of the B8079.[3]
Woodland walks from nearby Blair Castle pass beside the river.[4]
