Loch Moraig, Lude in Glen Fender Blair Atholl Perthshire Tayside Region Scotland UK SCO 1106

---

Glen Tilt extends north eastwards for about twelve miles from Blair Atholl. There the river Tilt joins the Garry. A road penetrates seven miles up the glen but the track through to Mar on Deeside is a right of way. King Robert the Bruce is said to have come this way from Deeside whilst heading westward with his force to the battle of Dalrigh which was fought at Tyndrum near the Perth-Argyll county boundary in 1306. On the south side of the upper part of the glen is the dominant peak of Beinn a’ Ghlo, 3,671 feet. Its ascent from Blair Atholl is long but not difficult. Glen Fender branches off from the lower part of Glen Tilt. As in every Highland glen Glen Tilt is full of history. In ancient days the glen was owned by the Macintoshes, descendants of the old Thanes of Glen Tilt and the Robertsons of Lude who descended from Patrick de Atholia, the eldest son of Duncan de Atholia by his marriage with a daughter of the Lord of the Isles.
