Glen Ogle

Valleys

Glen Ogle is a valley in the Stirling council area of Scotland, extending seven miles north-westwards from Lochearnhead to Lix Toll, where it opens into Glen Dochart. The Ogle Burn flows within the glen's steep sides from the Lochan Lairig Cheile at its head, and the glen has a subpolar oceanic climate that leaves it notably colder than most of the United Kingdom. A military road built in 1749 by Major William Caulfeild, constructed to help pacify the Highlands after the 1745 Jacobite rising, still runs through the valley, and a footpath along the former Callander and Oban Railway route crosses the twelve-arch stone Glen Ogle viaduct, completed between 1866 and 1870.
