GLENALMOND, a glen of Perthshire, Scotland, south-east of Loch Tay. It comprises the upper two-thirds of the course of the Almond, or a distance of 20 m. For the greater part it follows a direction east by south, but at Newton Bridge it inclines sharply to the south-east for 3 m., and narrows to such a decree that this portion is known as the Small (or Sma') Glen. At the end of this pass the glen expands and runs eastwards as far as the well-known public school of Trinity college, where it may be considered to terminate. The most interesting spot in the glen is that tradition ally known as the grave of Ossian.
