The river Doon, issuing from the north end of Loch Doon, descends at once into the bosom of Glen Ness, an amazingly narrow and deep ravine-a few yards wide, 200 feet deep, and nearly a mile in length.
The rugged, perpendicular, rocky walls of each side, which are only the length of a fishing rod apart, are beautifully variegated with a rich diffusion of tangled botanic greenary, sprinkled with flowers, the slender leafy branches of trees interlacing overhead, away up, up, and up among the love-throated birds, to a glimmering streak of sky.
Emerging from Glen Ness and Berbeth Woods, the river gradually veers from a north to a north-west direction, through bogs and meadows for some miles, especially fine on sunny days in the hay-making season, its brows becoming again graced with woods past Patna and Carnochan, and so continuing, with few breaks, to the sea.
