Glendhu, a glen and a sea-loch in the S of Eddrachillis parish, W Sutherland. The glen takes down a rivulet, issuing from Loch Strath nan Asinnteach (5 ½ x 1 furl.; 870 feet above sea-level), and running 2 1/8 miles west-by-northward to the head of the sea-loch; it is flanked, on the S side, by Ben Leoid (2597 feet). Loch Glendhu extends 2 5/8 miles westward into junction with Loch Glencoul, forming with that loch the head of Kylesku, measures from 1 ¾ to 4 ½ furlongs in breadth; and is flanked by steep hills 1700 feet high. It has great depth of water; and is so frequented by herring-shoals that no less than £30,000 worth of herrings have been caught in it in the course of a year.—Ord. Sur., shs. 108, 107, 1880-81.
