Hello!

You may have seen the fantastic news that a Bathing Waters application has been submitted by Forth Rivers Trust for a 400 metre stretch of the River Almond in Almondell and Calderwood Country Park.

This is fantastic and we need more RAAG members and supporters to support Forth Rivers Trust for a successful Bathing Water application.

For example, noting how many people are swimming and paddling in the river during the warmer summer's/ Autumn days probably between 1st June - 15th September. The River Almond may be the first river in Scotland to achieve this designation!
