Blair Atholl

Alltandubh

The former township of Alltandubh (Little Black Stream) once comprised eight buildings and a corn-drying kiln.

Carn Liath

Carn Liath (Grey Mountain) stands at 975m and is the lowest of the Bein a'Ghlo's (Hills of the Mist) three summits, the other peaks being Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (Height of the corrie of the round lumps) and Carn nan Gabhar (Peak of the Goat). It is an extremely popular climb amongst hill walkers (ranked 181 of 283 Munros), as perhaps evidenced by the badly-eroded track to the summit.

Beinn A'Ghlo

Taken from just below the summit of Carn Liath (Grey Peak 975m), the summits of Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (Height of the corrie of the round lumps 1070m) and Carn nan Gabhar (Peak of the Goat 1121m) are clearly visible.

Little Lude, Blair Atholl

Sitting in the shadow of the 3199ft high Carn Liath, Little Lude is just one of several former townships dotting the Atholl Braes. Perhaps dating from the eighteenth century, the second edition of the Ordnance Survey map (1900) describes Little Lude as a farmstead, indicating that this Atholl township was inhabited at this point.

Allt Torcaidh

Allt Torcaidh is just one of many burns ("allt" is the Gaelic word for "burn") spilling off the surrounding hillsides and feeding the River Tilt, a popular salmon fishing beat.
