Allt Direach We were the only two passengers on the run from Inverie to Tarbet and the skipper was quite happy to hug the shore so that I could take photographs. This grid square has three small burns cascading down the hillside into the loch, and the most obvious one here is the burn that is the furthest south and is also named as Allt Direach.
