Orchy, a stream of Glenorchy parish, Argyllshire, rising, close to the Perthshire boundary, at an altitude of 2700 feet, and 5¾ miles SSE of Loch Lydoch. Thence it winds 10¾ miles north-north-westward and west-south-westward under the name of the Water of Tulla, until it expands into Loch Tulla (2¼ miles x 5 furl.; 555 feet), and -receives there an important tributary from the mountains flanking the E side of the upper part of Loch Etive. It next runs 16½ miles south-westward to Loch Awe (118 feet) at Kilchurn Castle-rapidly and turbulently along the valley of Glenorchy proper, but tranquilly and sluggishly along the-vale of Dalmally. Its waters contain abundance of salmon, trout, perch, and pike, the last running up to 34 lbs.—Ord. Sur., shs. 54, 46, 45, 1872-76.
