The Ardle , also obsolete Airdle , is a river in the Scottish council area of Perth and Kinross . It is formed by the confluence of the Allt Fearnach and Brerachan Water creeks about 14 km northeast of Pitlochry

The Ardle flows in a south-easterly direction through a sparsely populated, mountainous region. From about five kilometers after its formation, the Ardle runs along the A924 to its mouth at Bridge of Cally , which connects the A93 at Bridge of Cally with the A9 at Pitlochry. The Ardle flows into the Ericht after a total of 21 km and thus finally reaches the North Sea via Isla and Tay .
