Glass, a picturesque loch on the mutual border of Alness and Kiltearn parishes, Ross-shire, at the north-eastern base of Ben Wyvis. Lying 713 feet above sea-level, it curves 4 miles south-eastward to within 7 miles of Novar or Evanton station, has a maximum width of 5 furlongs, and from its foot sends off the river Glass or Aultgrande running 8 miles east-south-eastward to Cromarty Firth, at a point 9 furlongs ESE of Novar station. Both loch and river afford good trout fishing.—Ord. Sur., sh. 93, 1881.
