River Shira (Scottish Gaelic: Siara / Abhainn Siara) is the river that runs for about 7 miles through Glen Shira, originating in north-east at 350 meter altitude, near the start of the River Fyne.

Shira runs into the 5 MW Sron Mor (Big Nose) power station dams at 340 meters altitude, dropping 49 meters.[1][2] The river includes a few waterfalls and islands, including Eilean an Eagail (The Island of Fear).

It eventually flows into Loch Dubh (Black Lake), where the Ancient Clan MacNaghten castle and crannogs used to be, and then by Stuart Liddells house and through Gearr Abhainn (River Garron) into Loch Shira and the sea loch Loch Fyne.

The river lends its name to the ferry MV Loch Shira.
