From the Wikipedia article
The River Glass (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Ghlais) is a river in the Scottish Highlands which flows northeastwards down Strathglass. It begins at the confluence of the River Affric and the Abhainn Deabhag, near the village of Tomich. It is joined by the River Cannich near the village of Cannich, then flows as far as a confluence with the River Farrar near Struy, from which point the merged waters are known as the River Beauly. The river is crossed by several bridges: Fasnakyle Bridge, unclassified road Comar Bridge, near Cannich, carries the A831 Mauld Bridge, near Struy, unclassified road

Background
History
Following the Scottish Reformation in 1560, the modern site of the Fasnakyle bridge was for many years the location of a secret Mass house whose parishioners were served, like the rest of the Catholic population of Strathglass, by outlawed "heather priests" of the Society of Jesus. According to Odo Blundell, the Mass house was situated so that it could only be approached by a Mass path, "leading from the lower end of Strathglass, eighteen miles distant." Among the priests of their Order who offered Mass at Fasnakyle before the Suppression of the Jesuits were Frs John Farquharson (1699–1782), Alexander Cameron (1701–1746), and Norman MacLeod (c.1715-1777).
