Upper Glen Artney Looking over the smooth slopes of Beinn nan Eun (the slopes may be smooth but this hill soon turns rough) to Meall na Fearna and the upper bowl of Glen Arney. This is a very green place in summer and appears to be quite fertile. Glen Artney also carries the Highland boundary fault, Beinn nan Eun and Uamh Beag being technically lowland hills.
