Craignetherty Thanks to the lie of the land the 500 metres or so of land in this square isn't seen from here, and the eye is drawn across the river and into the next square to the farm buildings at Craignetherty. On the skyline at left is Clunie Hill. The name Clunie (or Cluny, Clunas) is fairly common and is from a Gaelic word meaning 'slope'.
