Glen Tilt (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Teilt) is a glen in the extreme north of Perthshire, Scotland. Beginning at the confines of Aberdeenshire, it follows a South-westerly direction excepting for the last 4 miles, when it runs due south to Blair Atholl. It is watered throughout by the Tilt, which enters the Garry after a course of 14 miles, and receives on its right the Tarf, which forms some beautiful falls just above the confluence, and on the left the Fender, which has some fine falls also.

  • Glen Tilt, que en gaélico escocés se dice Gleann Teilt, es un valle en el extremo norte de Perthshire, Escocia. A partir de los límites de Aberdeenshire, sigue dirección suroeste, con excepción de los últimos 6 kilómetros, cuando toma rumbo sur hasta . En toda su longitud se encuentra regado por el río Tilt, que se vierte en el después de un curso de 21 kilómetros, y recibe por la derecha al Tarf, que forma algunas hermosas cascadas justo antes de la confluencia, y a la izquierda del Fence, que tiene también algunos buenos saltos. El intento de de cerrar el glen lal público fue impugnada con éxito por la (Sociedad escocesa para los Derechos de Paso). El enorme complejo montañoso de y sus tres munros, Carn nan Gabhar (1129 m), Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (1070 m) y Carn Liath (975 m) dominan la mitad oriental inferior del valle. En ocasiones se ha extraído mármol de buena calidad en el valle, y las formaciones rocosas ha atraído la atención de los geólogos. Uno de los primeros fue James Hutton, que visitó el valle en 1785 y se encontró con esquistos, rocas metamórficas, con granito penetrante, de manera que indicaba que el granito había sido fundido en el momento y que era posterior al esquisto. Esto demostraba que el granito había sido formado a partir del enfriamiento de rocas fundidas, lo que contradedía las ideas del neptunismo, vigente en ese momento y que establecía como teoría de la formación de las rocas la precipitación fuera del agua. Hutton llegó a la conclusión de que el granito debió ser más reciente que los esquistos.​​ Este fue uno de los hallazgos que le llevó a desarrollar su teoría del plutonismo y el concepto de una inmensamente larga escala de tiempo geológico expresado en la frase: «sin vestigios de un comienzo, sin ninguna perspectiva de un fin».​ (es)
  • Glen Tilt (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Teilt) is a glen in the extreme north of Perthshire, Scotland. Beginning at the confines of Aberdeenshire, it follows a South-westerly direction excepting for the last 4 miles, when it runs due south to Blair Atholl. It is watered throughout by the Tilt, which enters the Garry after a course of 14 miles, and receives on its right the Tarf, which forms some beautiful falls just above the confluence, and on the left the Fender, which has some fine falls also. The attempt of George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl to close the glen to the public was successfully contested by the Scottish Rights of Way Society in 1847. The massive mountain of Beinn a' Ghlò and its three Munros Càrn nan Gabhar (1129 m), Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (1070 m) and Càrn Liath (975) dominate the glen's eastern lower half. Marble of good quality is occasionally quarried in the glen, and the rock formation has long attracted the attention of geologists. One of the earliest was James Hutton, who visited the glen in 1785 and found boulders with granite penetrating metamorphic schists in a way which indicated that the granite had been molten at the time. This showed to him that granite formed from cooling of molten rock, contradicting the ideas of Neptunism of that time that theorised that rocks were formed by precipitation out of water. Hutton concluded that the granite must be younger than the schists. This was one of the findings that led him to develop his theory of Plutonism and the concept of an immensely long geologic time scale with "no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end." Sir John Clerk of Eldin visited the site and produced geological drawings of the area, immediately upstream of the old Dail-An-Eas Bridge which has since collapsed but the abutments remain as a listed building. Hutton's locality at Glen Tilt * Hutton's Locality. It was from the Dail-an-eas bridge which used to span the river at this point that James Hutton found the evidence he was seeking that molten granite had intruded the country rocks. Location: 56°51′04″N 3°44′31″W / 56.851082°N 3.741822°W * Hutton's Glen Tilt geological exposure at collapsed Dail-an-eas Bridge upstream from Forest Lodge, drawn by John Clerk of Eldin in 1785. Location: 56°51′04″N 3°44′30″W / 56.8511°N 3.7418°W * Watercolour image by John Clerk of Eldin of the key exposure at Glen Tilt. The flow direction of the river is towards the top of the image, in a southwesterly direction. The rectangular areas at the top of the image are the foundations of the collapsed bridge. A chronicle written by Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie in the 1570s describes a banquet prepared by the Earl of Atholl for James V to impress a Papal ambassador. This event seems to have taken place in 1532 in a temporary wooden lodge built like a castle in Glen Tilt. The lodging was burnt at the end of the event. Mary, Queen of Scots visited Glen Tilt in August 1564, and wrote a letter from the "Lunkartis in Glentilth" to her ally Colin Campbell of Glenorchy. (en)
