Glentromie, a glen in Kingussie and Insch parish, SE Inverness-shire, traversed by the Tromie, which, issuing from Loch an t-Seilich (1400 feet) in Gaick Forest, winds 10¾ miles north-by-eastward till, after a descent of 675 feet, it falls into the Spey at a point 1½ mile ENE of Kingussie station. Overhung around its head by rounded summits of the Grampians, rising to altitudes of from 2500 to 3000 feet above sea-level, Glentromie presents, in its middle reach, a somewhat outspread and unattractive aspect; but contracts, for the last 4 miles, into a picturesque wooded defile, flanked by an imposing precipitous acclivity. It takes down a road from Blair Athole to Strathspey.—Ord. Sur., sh. 64, 1874.
