'''Glen Lochay''' ({{lang|gd|Gleann Lòchaidh}}) in [[Perthshire]] is the valley through which the [[River Lochay]] runs eastward towards [[Loch Tay]], joining the [[River Dochart]] at [[Killin]]. Glen Lochay is about 20 miles long, running from a point north of [[Crianlarich]] to Loch Tay.  

A road runs up the glen as far as {{map|NN465364|Kenknock Farm}}, but there is no vehicular access beyond this point. A track leads further up the glen past cottages at Badour, then {{map|NN421347|Batavaime Farm}}), the last occupied building in Glen Lochay. The ruins of cottages can be seen higher up the glen, but these were vacated long ago.

The route of a seven-mile walk through this "delightful and remote glen" is documented.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.walkscotland.com/route73.htm|title=Looking for Lochay|work=walkscotland.com|author=Colin Hogarth|year=2004|accessdate=2007-01-20}}</ref>

There is an extensive local hydroelectric network throughout this area, much of which is buried under the ground and goes largely unseen, but some pipelines are visible crossing the glen.
