Glentilt is a valley in the extreme North of Perthshire, Scotland, watered by the river Tilt.
The Perthshire straths and glens abound in magnificent scenery, great forests, swift flowing rivers, beautiful lochs with rugged backgrounds of mountain and moorland. The wildlife is also of variation and abundance and along every road is much evidence of a long and proud history. Sir Walter Scott, that fervent Borderer, yet said: "If an intelligent stranger were asked to describe the most varied and most beautiful province in Scotland, it is likely that he would name the County of Perth." The present day visitor would find no fault with that statement.
