Glen Falloch on the West Highland Way

Glen Falloch is a short glen in the south-west of Perthshire, carved by the River Falloch in its upper reaches. It begins to the south-west of Crianlarich, where the river takes a turn away from its northward course, and it runs for five miles down to the Dunbartonshire border. In its midst the river tumbles over the picturesque Falls of Falloch.

The glen is not left in peace: the Old Military Road from Glen Fillan south-west to Loch Lomond followed the glan, and the West Highland Way now follows its track. The modern road, the A82 between Crianlarich and Dumbarton runs along the bottom of the glen, alongside the Glasgow to Fort William railway line.
