Their topographical situation, shewn on the traces, is correct according to the best authorities residing in this locality; but, great diversity of opinion exist regarding the extent of this range of Mountains. According to the boundary on the traces it extends from Beinn Meadhon down the west side of Glen Derry, thence along the north side of Glenlui till it joins the boundary of Glen Dee, and from thence to the pass called Lairig Ghruamach into Inverness-shire.
