Glen Ogle

Glen Ogle

Glen Ogle extends 7 miles north westwards from Lochearnhead to Lix Toll, where it opens into Glen Dochart.

The Ogle Burn flows within the steep sides of the glen, from the Lochan Lairig Cheile at the glen's head. The military road, which can been seen from the modern road, was built in 1749, by Major Caufield, as a part of the efforts to pacify the Highlands after the Jacobite Rising of 1745.

You can walk along through the spectacular glen on a footpath on the course of the Callander and Oban Railway.
