The Teith in Scotland flows from the northwest into the Forth near Drip northwest of Stirling .
etymology
The name comes from the Gaelic Uisge Theavich ("the beautiful river").
course
The river is made up of two burns (Scottish for “currents”): one from Loch Venachar , the Eas Gobhain (“the blacksmith's cascade”), and one from Loch Lubnaig - Garbh Uisge (“the rough water”). The river flows through Callander , Deanston and Doune before merging with the smaller Forth upstream from Stirling. The Deanston distillery near Doune uses the Teith to obtain water for the production of whiskey .
meaning
The Teith is known for its fishing and the arched bridge 800 m southwest of Doune.
The "Brig o 'Teith" was constructed in 1535 by Robert Spittal , the royal tailor of Maria Stuart . According to Charles Roger in A Week at Bridge of Allan 1851 , a ferryman refused to translate Spittal over the Teith when he did not have his wallet with him and was insolvent.
