Thrill-seekers are being offered the chance to balance precariously over a Perthshire river with the opening of the world’s first “aqualining” course.
The activity is based on slacklining, which sees participants balance on a rope loosely strung between two points.
However, aqualiners will traverse a webbed rope suspended 10ft above the river Garry at Calvine Gorge. The concept of using a slackline over natural falls is a global first.
The inventors believe the activity will attract adventure-seekers from across the world to highland Perthshire.
The adrenaline-filled pursuit is being offered by Ballinluig-based adventure sport company Nae Limits, who introduced sphereing, cliff jumping, river bugging and adventure tubing to Scotland.
Nae Limits founder John Mason-Strang said: “I actually started slacklining years ago in my own garden, with the line suspended between trees but it was only when my son Dale, who is the chief guide, demonstrated what may be possible with waterfalls that I knew there was a whole new world out there.
“The aqualine will be about 10ft above the final waterfall pool at the gorge but it is all about fun, people learning water and rock skills, improving their climbing skills and enjoying themselves.”
Mike Cantlay, VisitScotland chairman, said: “Nae Limits are to be congratulated on their continued innovation and investment in bringing new activities to Scotland.”
