Glenrosie, a glen in the middle of the E side of Arran, Buteshire. Commencing at an altitude of 1750 feet, it descends 5½ miles south-south-eastward to the sea at Brodick Bay, and a little above its mouth is joined by Glenshurtg and Glencloy. With Goatfell (2866 feet) on the E and Ben Tarsuinn (2706) on the W, its upper reach exhibits sublimely picturesque scenery; its middle reach displays a blending of grandeur and loveliness; and its lowest reach is so exquisite as to be called Glenshant-the ' vale of enchantment.'-Ord. Sur., sh 21, 1870.
