Where there are protruding rocks the ''roads'' do not exist and they are deficient in the ravines and watercourses. The same appearances are found in the greater valleys with which Glen Roy communicates; but we shall only allude to that which may be observed on both sides of Glen Spean corresponding to the level of the lowest in Glen Roy much interrupted, but capable of being traced in different places, and on both sides of the valley that lies between Teindrish and the foot of Ben Nevis. The mode in which they have been produced by water, ''says Macculloch,'' seems perfectly clear and simple. The Parallel Roads are the shores of ancient lakes, or of one ancient lake occupying successively different levels, and long since drained, In an existing lake among the hills it is easy to see the very terraces in question produced by the wash of the waves against the alluvial matter of the hills. By this check, and by the loss of gravity which the stones undergo from immersion in water, they are distributed in a belt along the margin of the lake; a belt broadest and most level where there are most losse [loose?] materials, and where the declivity of the hill is least narrowest and most imperfect where these circumstances are different and whenever rocks protrude, ceasing to be formed |

Ordnance Survey - Inverness county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Inverness, which is in the north of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
