Glentilt

Glentilt, in north Perthshire, the deep narrow glen of the troutful, impetuous Tilt, which issues from Loch Tilt (3 by 2 furlongs; 1650 feet), and runs 16 miles south-westward, receiving the larger Tarf Water and Fender Burn, until at Blair-Athole it falls into the Garry. It is traversed by the footpath from Blair-Athole to Braemar. Huge Benglo (3671 feet) flanks its left side. Glentilt is classic ground to the geologist, as having furnished evidence for the Huttonian or denudation theory. A famous hunting-ground, too, it has memories of James V., Mary, and Victoria; nor is its right-of-way case (1845) yet forgotten.
