Glenogle (Gael. gleann-eagal, ' valley of dread '), a glen of Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, commencing ¼ mile SSE of Killin station, at an altitude of 980 feet, and descending 3 ¼ miles south-south-eastward to Lochearnhead. Traversed by the road from Callander to Killin, and by the Callander and Oban railway, it forms a close, gloomy defile, and is flanked on the E side by Beinn Leathan (2312 feet), on the W by Meall Sgliata (2250). Hundreds of runnels streak its cliffs, which look to have been shattered by shock of earthquake; its bottom is encumbered by thousands of fallen rocks; and it commands, towards its mouth, a romantic view of the mountains around the upper waters of Loch Earn.—Ord. Sur., sh. 46, 1872.
