Glenmore, a mountain defile in Torosay parish, Mull island, Argyllshire. Extending 10 miles westward from the head of Loch Don to the head of Loch Scridain, it forms the line of communication between the eastern and western coasts of the southern half of Mull; is narrow, winding, gloomy, and sublime; and rises, in the highest part of its bottom, to an elevation of about 300 feet above sea-level, being flanked with cliffs and acclivities, overhung by Bentalloch, Benmore, and other lofty mountains.
