Eas Fors

Last updated

Eas Fors is a waterfall on the island of Mull in Scotland. [1] It is situated on the Ardow Burn south of Dervaig. There is another Eas Fors on the Allt an Eas Fors (Eas Fors Burn) on the west coast of Mull north of Ulva Ferry.

The name is tautologous: eas is Gaelic for waterfall, and fors or foss is also Norse for waterfall, [2] so "Eas Fors" means "waterfall waterfall."

Glen Tilt is a glen in the extreme north of Perthshire, Scotland. Beginning at the confines of Aberdeenshire, it follows a South-westerly direction excepting for the last 4 miles, when it runs due south to Blair Atholl. It is watered throughout by the Tilt, which enters the Garry after a course of 14 miles, and receives on its right the Tarf, which forms some beautiful falls just above the confluence, and on the left the Fender, which has some fine falls also. The attempt of George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl to close the glen to the public was successfully contested by the Scottish Rights of Way Society in 1847. The massive mountain of Beinn a' Ghlò and its three Munros Càrn nan Gabhar, Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain and Càrn Liath (975) dominate the glen's eastern lower half.
