From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balgaidh Burn is a watercourse in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[1][2][3] It is the main inflow and outflow of Bishop's Glen Reservoir,[4][5] which is located a short distance above Dunoon, to the town's southwest. The burn begins a further 1.3 miles (2.1 km) southwest of Bishop's Glen Reservoir, at an elevation of around 1,150 feet (350 m).
