River Tay
The River Tay emerges from Loch Tay at Kenmore, and flows from there to Perth which, in historical times, was its lowest bridging point. Below Perth the river becomes tidal and enters the Firth of Tay. The largest city on the river, Dundee, lies on the north bank of the Firth. On reaching the North Sea, the River Tay has flowed from west to east across central Scotland.

The Norfolk Broads are the responsibility of the Broads Authority. The River Cam, Basingstoke Canal, Bridgewater Canal, Manchester Ship Canal, and Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation were also outside the jurisdiction of British Waterways.
