The Ruthven Water is a right tributary of the Earn in Perth and Kinross in east Scotland . It rises in the Ochil Hills on the northwest slope of the mountain The Seat . Its upper course leads it north along the A823 through the Gleneagles valley . After passing Gleneagles House and Gleneagles Chapel , he reaches the remains of Gleneagles Castle , where he leaves the course of the road and turns to the northeast. From here it cuts into the landscape up to about 60 meters deep. The castle ruins and the mansion Kincardine Castle are located on the northwestern hill . This area is also part of the nature reserve ( SSSI ) Kincardine Castle Wood .
Now the area is flat, after crossing under the railway line leading from Stirling to Perth and the A9 highway, the village of Auchterarder is on the left bank . After another kilometer, the Pairney Burn flows to the Ruthven Water near the hamlet of Shinafoot from the right . Now the course of the river turns increasingly north to flow into the Earn from the right about two kilometers after the village of Aberuthven .
The Ruthven Water has a length of 16 kilometers, its water code number is 6806.
