Coiltie, a rivulet of Urquhart and Glenmoriston parishes, Inverness-shire. Issuing from Loch nam Meur, on a western shelf of Mealfourvonie mountain, at an altitude of 1575 feet above sea-level, it rushes impetuously 9¾ miles east-north-eastward to Loch Ness, at the mouth of Glen Urquhart, near Drumnadrochit hotel. It passes through Loch Aolaich, and afterwards traverses a broken channel. overhung by precipices and wood, and in times of freshet moves in such bulk and force as to sweep before it enormous masses of stone. Its waters, owned by Lord Seafield, contain abundance of small trout.Ord. Sur., sh. 73,1878.
