Dhruim, a river-gorge in Kilmorack parish, Invernessshire, extending about 2 or 3 miles south-westward from Kilmorack church, and traversed by the river Beauly. It is flanked by steep mountain acclivities, clothed with birch and pine; is fringed, along the river's brinks, by rows of oaks, alders, and weeping birches; is swept, along the bottom, by a series of cascades over shelving masses of red sandstone; and has, altogether, a romantically picturesque character.
