Glen Fiddich It looks as if the glen is a glacial meltwater channel, because the River Fiddich is too small to have carved out as wide and flat a channel as this.

Ford on Allt a 'Chlagainn Allt a' Chlagainn flows into the River Fiddich just below here, after spreading out to create a large pool to be forded. In the background are some of the 59 turbines of the Dorenell Wind Farm.

Allt a' Chlagainn The map shows a path that follows Allt a' Chlagainn almost to the top of Carn Allt a' Chlagainn, but it's not obvious on the ground. The turbines are part of the Dorenell Wind Farm.

Lady's Well The map appears to show Lady's Well just to the side of the track, but this must be it, now in the middle of the track. The water emerges at the top of this view, and runs away at the bottom of the view.

Rock Exposure This is metamorphic rock, part of the Ailnack Phyllite and Limestone Formation. It's one of only a few exposures in Glen Fiddich, because most of the land is covered by glacial deposits.

River Fiddich Werte it not so dry, the river would be beginning to look like a river instead of a burn by now. In the background are some of the 59 turbines on the Dorenell Wind Farm.
