Glenturret, a glen of Monzievaird and Strowan parish, Perthshire, traversed by Turret Burn, which, rising on the eastern side of Ben Chonzie at an altitude of 2000 feet above sea-level, runs 8½ miles south-eastward and southward (for the last 2 along the Crieff border), till, after a descent of 1800 feet, it falls into the Earn at a point ½ mile W of the town of Crieff. It embosoms, within the first three miles, Lochan Uaine (1 x ½ furl.; 1523 feet) and Loch Turret (1 mile x 2¾ furl-; 1127 feet); presents, till 2½ miles below the latter, a contracted, rugged, bleak, and wild appearance; but thereafter opens into a beautiful vale. Glenturret Lodge, at the NE corner of Loch Turret, 7 miles NNW of Crieff, is a castellated shooting-box of Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre.—Ord. Sur., sh 47, 1869.
