Old Photograph Shepherd's Bridge Glen Tilt Scotland

Old photograph of a Shepherd's bridge in Glen Tilt in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Glen Tilt, Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Teilt, is a glen in the extreme north of Perthshire. Beginning at the confines of Aberdeenshire, it follows a South westerly direction excepting for the last 4 miles, when it runs due south to Blair Atholl. It is watered throughout by the River Tilt, which enters the River Garry after a course of 14 miles, and receives on its right the Tarf, which forms some beautiful falls just above the confluence, and on the left the Fender, which has some fine falls also. The attempt of George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl to close the glen to the public was successfully contested by the Scottish Rights of Way Society. The massive mountain of Beinn a' Ghlò and its three Munros Càrn nan Gabhar, Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain, and Càrn Liath dominate the glen's eastern lower half.
