Glen Lyon, Perthshire

29th October 2013, Glen Lyon

Glen Lyon, at 34 miles, is the longest enclosed glen in Scotland. Sandwiched between Loch Rannoch and Loch Tay, it is remote with few settlements. In winter there is only one way in and out. At other times a single-track hill road can be used as an alternative from Loch Tay which climbs to over 500 metres before descending into Glen Lyon at Bridge of Balgie. It is a glen of contrasts. East of Bridge of Balgie it is very picturesque, especially in the Autumn for its colour.  West of Bridge of Balgie is more rugged hill country with a few farms and large hydro electricity schemes.
