Certainly impressive. I follow several UK gold fossicking channels on YouTube and they do seem to do a good job, especially since the pickings are so small in comparison with other places around the world.
What puzzles me is the comment in the Telegraph article that:
"It is estimated that there are around 50,000 rivers in Scotland, with many unexplored because they are so difficult to reach by car or train."
Perhaps over there, a "river" is a collective term for any perennial or occasional watercourse. But even with that broad definition, I would have thought every single metre of waterway in the UK has been explored, mapped, and panned over the past few hundred years.

I am Scottish born n bred. In Scotland they have Drains, Ditches, Burns and Rivers. Any of which could have gold in.
Most of the waterways are runoff from mountains of Granite. I would be as bold as to say most of Scottish rivers run through a loch of some kind.
How much Gold would there be in that natural traps?
The city of Aberdeen is often refared to as the Granite city
Gold is where the Granite is, though not in every case.
When I lived in Scotland I never knew there was Gold there
