Below is a list of valleys in Scotland. In Scotland, valleys are known as "glens". In total, the country has over 40 glens with rich history, with some of the glens in Scotland historically being ruled by warlike clans who defended the territory from invasion. The majority of the Scotland's valleys are located in the Highland area of the country, with areas such as Glen Trool, Glencoe, "The Great Glen", Glen Etive and Glen Lyon being the most visited.[1]
