Tour Scotland photograph of the Falls of Orchy, Glen Orchy, Scotland. This Scottish glen is about 11 miles long, and runs south-west from Bridge of following the River Orchy through the Caledonian Forest. There are no settlements in the glen: just a few isolated buildings. The Eas Urchaidh and Eas a’ Chathaidh are waterfalls within the glen. The continuation westward past Dalmally to Loch Awe is known as the Strath of Orchy. The B8074 road runs the length of Glen Orchy. Glen Orchy was one of the major homes of Clan Gregor until the clan was outlawed in 1603 by King James VI.
