The Glenkens are an area of Kirkcudbrightshire, in the villages and dales about the Water of Ken.
The Glenkens is made up of the parishes of:
- Carsphairn,
- Dalry,
- Kells,
- Parton and
- Balmaclellan.[1]
The name comes from the main river here, the Water of Ken, which runs through the valley before it flowing into the River Dee and then down to the sea.
