Strath Glass to the west of Beauly provides a gateway to some of the loveliest glens in Scotland. The River Beauly and further upstream, the River Glass, run through the open, wooded Strath which provides much variety of scenery.

The village of Tomich - a conservation village - four miles on from Cannich, was designed by the first Lord Tweedsmouth for his estate workers. He also built Guisachan House in the 1850s and although almost derelict now, it once saw visits from the rich and famous- Sir Winston Churchill is said to have learned to drive at Guisachan.
