Sma' Glen.

Sma' Glen.

A few miles to the north of the town of Crieff is the southern entrance to the Sma’ Glen. Here one passes from the lowlands into the Scottish Highlands. Its present name is a modern one for originally it was known as An Caol Ghleann, The Narrow Glen, and its Gaelic name is indeed descriptive of it. It is a typical Highland glen in appearance though only a short one and when passing through it it is difficult to think that only a few miles away to the south is lowland country. The valley is watered by the infant river Almond and the steep sides are clothed with heather and blaeberry plants. It is void of trees except for a few which flourish in the lower part of the glen. On a hill overlooking it is a rock known as the Eagles Rock and doubtless in the old days the golden eagle had its eyrie here.
