Extract

1. Tulach Hill (1537 ft.) rises steeply from the southern side of the River Garry, about a mile to the south-west of Blair Atholl (fig. 1). It is the culminating point of a low range of hills running north-west from the confluence of the rivers Garry and Tummel and lying between Strath Garry on the north and Strath Tummel and Fincastle Glen on the south. To the west, the Tulach ridge descends in a drift-covered slope into the valley of Allt Bhaic, a northward flowing tributary of the Garry with its source in Loch Bhac.
