Default Atlantic/North sea

A wee quiz,
There are two rivers in Scotland which discharge into both the North sea and the Atlantic at the same time. One is a major river,the other is a tributary in a larger system.

Answers on a post card.
You have till tomorrow, I am off to the pub.

Only two?
To add to the ones already given.
Part of the headwaters of the Broom are diverted into L. Glascarnoch on the Conon system.
Naver. The top of the Vagastie is diverted into the Tirry and L. Shin.

Will depend on where you think north sea and atlantic join!!
could be the Thurso and the Forsinad.
Could be any of four at bonnar bridge, but again is that not exclusvely north sea!?
bearing in mind english coastal waters go as far north as arbroath, could even be icelandic rivers!!!

Wiki says the North Sea is bounded by the east coasts of England and Scotland and the Orkney Isles and Shetland in the north. This makes everything west of Duncansby Head the Atlantic. So the Thurso flows into the Atlantic.
Where or what is the Forsinad

Default Like what the hell would I know.

But there are apparently more than one 'school of thought' as to where the boundaries lay if you want to toss in the Oslo-Paris Treaty of 1962. (What ever the heck that was about ....)
