Glensannox, a glen in the NE of Arran, Buteshire, commencing among the stupendous western buttresses of Goatfell at an altitude of 1680 feet, and winding round the northern skirts of that mountain 37/8 miles east-north-eastward, till it opens to the Sound of Bute at Sannox hamlet, 7 miles N of Brodick. The grandest glen in Arran, surpassed in all Scotland by only Glencoe and Coruisk, it was pronounced by Dr Macculloch ' the sublime in magnitude, simplicity, obscurity, and silence ' Near its mouth is the burying-ground of a small preReformation monastery; and a barrettes manufactory was established in it in 1839.—Ord. Sur.,, sh 21, 1870.
