Altruism, a burn-torrent in Urquhart and Glenmoriston parish, Inverness-shire, in the Forest of Ruisky, down the precipitous alpine mountains of Mealfourvounie, to the NW side of Loch Ness, nearly opposite the famous Fall of Foyers. It makes, in one place, a sheer leap of at least 100 feet; and, as seen from Loch Ness, it looks like a long white ribbon, streaked and figured with the intervening trees.
