Canoeist drowns at Grandtully
A young thrill-seeker died after he was thrown from his canoe while trying to tame some of the River Tay's most turbulent rapids on April 7.
The watersports enthusiast was negotiating a popular stretch of water at Lower Grandtully when disaster struck.
A dramatic rescue attempt was launched but the man could not be freed.
