It is rash to discriminate among the beautys of such a glen, but perhaps not the least attractive are those in the middle reaches, where the hills are friendly rather than fearsome, where groves of silver birches break and soften the valley side, where the alder dips its branches in the singing water, and where the oyster-catcher sweeps and cries above the shingle.

However, the Survey's choices as to what was included and its "relative blindness to antiquities, variant spellings, placenames and to archaeological phenomena before the 1920s" alongside the relative lack of detailed mapping of much of
Highland Scotland meant that this series painted a "selective description of the countryside" until the 1:50,000 series emerged in the 1970s.

The area is devoid of permanent habitation and the first stand of trees is encountered at Inchrory, a shooting lodge some 14 km (8.7 mi) west of the fords.
