Allt Graad (
Scottish Gaelic,
Allt Grànnda, meaning "Ugly Stream") is a river in
Easter Ross,
Highland,
Scotland, flowing 9 km (5½ miles) from
Loch Glass through
Glen Glass past
Evanton into the
Cromarty Firth.
Between Glen Glass and Evanton it flows through the
Black Rock Gorge, associated in local tradition with the
Lady of Balconie. Allt Graad is the official
Ordnance Survey name and that of
Highland Council, but it is also known by other names, such as the "River Glass", "Allt Grande", and the archaic
Anglicization, "Aultgraad".
