WHAT DOES GREAT GLEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Great Glen

The Great Glen, also known as Glen Albyn or Glen More is a series of glens in Scotland running for 62 miles from Inverness on the edge of Moray Firth, to Fort William at the head of Loch Linnhe. The Great Glen Fault The Great Glen follows a large geological fault known as the Great Glen Fault. It bisects the Scottish Highlands into the Grampian Mountains to the southeast and the Northwest Highlands to the northwest. The glen is a natural travelling route in the Highlands of Scotland, which is used by both the Caledonian Canal and the A82 road, which link the city of Inverness on the northeast coast with Fort William on the west coast. The Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway was built in 1896 from the southern end of the glen to the southern end of Loch Ness, but was never extended to Inverness. The railway closed in 1947. A recent development has been to open a long-distance route for cyclists, canoeist and walkers. Called the Great Glen Way, it links Fort William to Inverness. Officially opened on 30 April 2002 by HRH The Earl of Inverness, the route is a series of footpaths, forestry tracks, canal paths and occasional stretches of road.
