Glen Orchy is a glen in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, running about 17 kilometers southwest from Bridge of Orchy to Dalmally and shaped by the glacial processes typical of the Scottish Highlands. The River Orchy flows the length of the glen, generally followed by the B8074 road, and the glen passes through the Caledonian Forest and contains the waterfalls Eas Urchaidh and Eas a' Chathaidh. No settlements lie within the glen, only a scattering of isolated buildings, and before Clan Gregor's outlawing by King James VI in 1603 the glen served as one of the clan's principal strongholds. Its Scottish Gaelic name is Gleann Urchaidh.
