The high purity of gold obtained from Scotland's streams and rivers results in a market value about four times that of 'normal' bullion, with current price about GBP100 ($190) per gram.

The soaring price has acted as a catalyst to re-opening of the Tyndrum mine in Stirlingshire. Also, new licences have recently been granted for four sites:

• Aberfeldy, Perthshire
  
• Ochil Hills, Perthshire
• Kilmelford, Argyllshire
• Arthrath, Aberdeenshire.
