Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Glenfernisdale

Glenfernisdale, a glen in Kingussie and Insch parish, Badenoch, Inverness-shire, traversed by a stream that, issuing from Loch Etteridge (2 ½ x 1 furl.; 1000 feet), runs 6 3/8 miles north-north-eastward till, after a descent of 230 feet, it falls into the Spey at a point 1 mile SSW of Kingussie village. The old military road, which is still the best for pedestrians, deflects from Glentruim at Etteridge Bridge, and goes down Glenfernisdale to the Spey.—Ord. Sur., sh. 64, 1874.
