Glen Orchy (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Urchaidh) is the beautiful valley, twelve miles long, in which the River Orchy runs south-westerly from the Bridge of Orchy to Inverlochy in Scotland. Much of the Glen is planted with conifers. It attracts many visitors: campers, anglers, walkers and, of course, artists. Scottish painter, etcher, and draughtsman, born in Glasgow, the son of a clergyman. He abandoned brief unhappy careers in commerce and law to study at *Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. Most of his work consisted of landscapes (especially scenes of mountains) and architectural views, and he is best known for his etchings of buildings, including Gothic churches on the Continent—rich and sombre works with which he established a reputation as one of the outstanding printmakers of the day.
