Glen Croe is a glen in the Arrochar Alps in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, its Scottish Gaelic name Gleann a Chro. It is surrounded by large, rugged mountains marked by huge boulders, and the Croe Water flows through it into Loch Long. The glen was formed by glacial erosion, and the resulting instability still affects the area today, including ongoing landslide activity on the A83 road that runs through it.
