Bencleuch, a mountain on the mutual border of Tillicoultry parish, Clackmannanshire, and Alva parish, Stirlingshire. The loftiest of the Ochils, it rises to a height of 2363 feet above sea-level, overhanging the head of the romantic Glen of Alva; and it commands one of the widest and most brilliant views in Scotland.
